Dr. Michael Keas’s appointment as an Honorary Visiting Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at Southeastern University is well justified by his distinguished record of scholarship, teaching, and public engagement at the intersection of science, philosophy, and Christian theology. With a Ph.D. in the History of Science from the University of Oklahoma and nearly four decades of academic experience—including professorships at Biola University, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Oklahoma Baptist University—Dr. Keas has demonstrated sustained excellence in teaching, research, and leadership within faith-based higher education. His publications, such as Unbelievable: 7 Myths About the History and Future of Science and Religion (ISI Books, 2019) and The Myth of Science vs. Religion (Ratio Christi Press, 2023), as well as his contributions to Harvard University Press’s Newton’s Apple and Other Myths About Science and Zondervan’s Dictionary of Christianity and Science, reflect both scholarly rigor and accessibility to diverse audiences. His article “Systematizing the Theoretical Virtues,” published in Synthese—a top-tier philosophy journal and cited over 90 times—demonstrates his global impact in the philosophy of science.
Beyond his academic credentials, Dr. Keas embodies Southeastern University’s mission of integrating faith, learning, and service through Spirit-empowered scholarship. His teaching in Christian apologetics, logic, and the relationship between science and theology, along with his leadership in international initiatives through Ratio Christi, Discovery Institute, and Summit Ministries, underscores his ability to bridge intellectual excellence with worldview formation. Dr. Keas’s expertise in dispelling historical myths about science and religion, coupled with his long-standing commitment to Christian education, makes him an ideal partner in advancing SEU’s vision to cultivate scholars and leaders who engage the modern world with biblical wisdom and academic credibility.
