Dr. Christopher Peppler

Dr Christopher Peppler is an author, theologian, and interdisciplinary researcher driven by a singular mission: to participate in the restoration of truth. As a passionate champion of the Christocentric Principle, his writing refocuses readers on the centrality of Jesus in theology, biblical interpretation, and Spirit-filled living, while also rigorously examining the intersection of faith, technology, and modern society.

This clarity of focus is backed by a uniquely broad career. Following two decades of management in the financial sector, Christopher answered a call to full-time ministry, pastoring Lonehill Village Church in Sandton, South Africa. Recognising a vital need for accessible, rigorous biblical training, he subsequently founded the South African Theological Seminary (SATS), an institution that now equips students worldwide. His academic foundation includes a Doctor of Theology in Systematic Theology from the University of Zululand, post-graduate degrees from the United States, and multiple business qualifications.

Having retired from formal institutional leadership, Christopher now dedicates his time to writing, discipling, and mentoring. His diverse catalogue of books—spanning systematic theology to the societal impacts of artificial intelligence—is supported by his active platform, TruthIsTheWord, which hosts his ongoing blog, podcasts, and resource repository.

Christopher lives in Gauteng, South Africa, with Patricia, his wife of over fifty years. Together, they have two children and two granddaughters.
