Dr. Slade is a theological historian, systematician, and critical rationalist philosopher from Denver, Colorado. Specializing in the socio-political development of religious belief systems, historic-speculative theology, and theoretical metaphysics, Darren's academic publications include topics ranging from the philosophy of religion, ancient Near Eastern and Second-Temple hermeneutical practices, church and Islamic history, the psychology of religion, and misotheism.

As a critical rationalist, Dr. Slade emphasizes the elimination of a confirmation bias through the use of logical argumentation, verificationism, and falsificationism. He maintains that a belief is ontologically true only if it is internally coherent, consistent with known facts, and possesses explanatory power or problem-solving capacity.
