Patheos December 2022 Featured Writer Daniel C. Peterson 2024-11-21T14:29:22-07:00 Alan Crandall

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Daniel C. PetersonDaniel grew up in Southern California and served as a Mormon Missionary in German-speaking Switzerland. He earned a degree in Greek and philosophy from Brigham Young University. Peterson is married with three sons and currently lives in Utah. His three favorite topics are religion, history, and politics. 

Daniel enjoys writing for Patheos because, “I’ve been a teacher for most of my adult life, not only in higher education and in church but in scores and scores of public lectures on every inhabited continent. In recent years, I’ve frequently led tours in the Near East and Europe. I love sharing and discussing ideas. And there are no ideas more important than those connected with God, religion, faith, and the meaning of it all.” 

At Patheos, “I’ve always felt entirely free to mix things up, to vary my topics. In fact, I’ve been deliberately committed to doing that. I write about what interests me; I really care about the subjects that I discuss. And I can’t imagine that my writing would be very interesting if I didn’t.” Daniel offers up this advice: “There is, surely, a bit of egotism in any writer’s motivating assumption that other people might be interested in what they have to say. But my supposition is that ‘sections at Patheos’ attract continuing audiences not only because of the ideas they discuss but because, to some greater or lesser degree, at least a few people out there are curious about the minds and personalities of their authors. So, I’ve also felt free to be personal and open, sometimes even to the point, I suppose, of being “vulnerable.’”
