Jonathan Rutledge is a philosopher and theologian working at the intersection of philosophical theories of human nature and implications for human flourishing. More specifically, he is interested in questions concerning how interpersonal and divine forgiveness affect flourishing outcomes, how different forms of faith intersect with the significance of meaning/purpose for flourishing, and obstacles of social justice confronting the promotion of flourishing in various spheres.
