Nathan Jacobs was born
and raised in the Suburbs of Chicago, with a continual enthusiasm for
the fine arts. Following high school he went on to study fine arts
painting on scholarship at the Maryland Institute College of Art in
Baltimore Maryland—at the time one of the top three painting schools in
the country. In his third year there, he transferred to Trinity
International University to study philosophy in accord with newly
acquired and growing interests that resulted from his conversion to the
Christian faith in 1996. While there he met Heather Borth, who is now
his wife of two years. In addition, he went on to present a series of
papers at various prestigious Ph.D. level philosophy/theology
conferences while still an undergraduate. In 2001 he completed his BA
as a double major in the humanities (emphasis on fine arts) and
philosophy. He is presently bringing to a close (from a distance) his
MA in Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School under
Kevin Vanhoozer and Doug Sweeney. His thesis is on the problem of evil
and is title Beyond Augustine: Toward a Quasi-Thomistic Theodicy.
He works as a 2-D artist/illustrator here at N’Lightning Software; and
lives in Medford Oregon with his wife and first child—Anastasia Grace. |
