FINNEY PREMKUMAR

Finney Premkumar is the Founder and President of Truth Matters International, headquartered in Pasadena, CA. The ministry has a twin focus of engaging the academy and equipping the church with the Gospel of Christ. Undergirded by a strong philosophical and theological approach, this ministry seeks to confront the dominant ideological voices of our time by presenting the reality of God’s eternal Word.

Finney is passionate about evangelism/missions and has spoken at numerous churches, organizations, conventions, youth conferences, and mission-related events in the US, Canada, South America, Europe, the UK, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. His vision is to equip the church to be effective and Truth-focused in an increasingly complex and convoluted global context. He is also experienced in engaging various dimensions of academia with the content of the Gospel. Accordingly, Finney has lectured at the Academy of Sciences in Poland and the Czech Republic, as well as addressing the general assembly at UNESCO in Belgium from an interdisciplinary and Christian perspective. He also delivered lectures at Oxford University for 8 consecutive years at the invitation of Professor Alister McGrath.

He regularly addresses issues in philosophy, religion, science, ethics, technology, artificial intelligence, and related topics and has been privileged to present academic lectures/ papers at numerous universities, like Harvard, MIT, Yale, Johns Hopkins, the University of Toronto, and UC Berkeley, among others. In addition, Finney regularly speaks at the Evangelical Philosophical Society (EPS), the American Scientific Affiliation (ASA), the American Academy of Religion (AAR), the American Philosophical Association (APA), and the Society of Christian Philosophers (SCP). He was in the IT industry before committing to full-time ministry and is currently completing his Ph.D. at the University of Birmingham in England. His thesis is focused on the structure of scientific revolutions and the built-in limitations of scientific and mathematical models, in an effort to show the necessity of a transcendent foundation (God).
