Cet auteur puise dans des années formatives passées au sein de l'Église anglicane et dans un séminaire, qui lui ont inculqué la discipline et l'enthousiasme pour l'étude. Désormais auteur catholique, compositeur et directeur de chœurs vocaux qu'il a fondés, il apporte profondeur et passion à son œuvre. Son écriture reflète une étude méticuleuse, peut-être avec des échos de ses activités musicales. Sa perspective unique mérite d'être appréciée.
