Valerian Gamgebeli-Doroshenko

I am a teacher of Evangelical Religious Education in Spanish state schools and a Visiting Professor at the International Faculty of Theology (IBSTE) in Barcelona. I hold an M.Phil. in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Innsbruck (2023–2025) and an M.A. in Religious Studies from the Complutense University of Madrid (2016–2017). Additionally, I studied Theology (CTS) at Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford (2017–2018), and Christian Apologetics at the OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (2017–2018). I am currently a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the Autonomous University of Madrid (2025–present), researching the coherence of theism in the philosophical theology of William Lane Craig.

My research is situated within the analytic tradition in the philosophy of religion. My graduate work has focused on the coherence of theism, specifically divine omniscience (Molinism) and the compatibility of divine attributes with the doctrine of hell. I also maintain strong interests in Christology, including the deity of Christ, the Trinity, divine sonship in biblical literature, the historical Jesus and his self-understanding, and Christology in the Old Testament. Additional research interests include comparative religion, worldview analysis, the New Testament canon, biblical reliability, Christian apologetics, church history, and the study of traditional religions and new religious movements.
