I am Corné Gieselbach, a South African theological scholar. I hold a BA in Biblical Studies, and I am completing a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from TheosSeminary, where I currently serve as Chair of the Bachelor’s Program. I will also be a doctoral candidate at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, starting in October. Where my research will focus on Eucharistic doctrine and the development of theology within the life of the Church.

I am married to my wife, Isabella. She is an American whom I met while studying at seminary, where she is also currently completing her BA in Biblical Studies. We believe deeply in the beauty and ministry of the faithful, ordinary Christian life. Marriage and family, as we understand them, are a kind of domestic church and the foundation upon which both ecclesial and social life are built. This shared life is our primary vocation and ministry.

Our work together flows out of that commitment. I write and teach theology; Isabella is an artist. Together we collaborate on books and projects that seek to unite theological depth with visual beauty—she as illustrator and cover artist, and I as author. Our hope is to offer resources that are careful, reverent, and genuinely useful for the Church.

By training and vocation, I am a teacher and a writer. By calling, I am a Christian seeking to cooperate with the grace God gives in the ordinary structures of life: study, prayer, marriage, and work.
