This course is prepared by Low Chai Hok, founder and editor of ALBERITH. Chai Hok studied zoology at the University of London, and though he has spent most of his adult life as a theologian (with a specialty in the Old Testament) he has retained a life long interest in the subject. He first read Darwin's famous Origin of Species as a teenager, and Darwin's final resting place in Westminster Abbey was one of the first places he visited upon arriving in London. He even wanted, if he ever could, to model his home after Down House, Darwin's residence in Kent. Then Christ found him. Down House went down, naturally.
