Lexi Eikelboom

Lexi Eikelboom is the Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Theology in the John Wesley Honors College. She researches at the intersection of Christian Theology and Continental Philosophy, which leads her to think about a variety of topics, particularly the relationship between theology and concepts in art and aesthetics. Her dissertation, Establishing Rhythm as a Theological Category: Experience, Metaphysics, Salvation, argues for rhythm as integral to Christian doctrine rather than merely a dimension of aesthetics or religious expression. She also uses painting as a way to gain an alternative perspective on theological concepts.
