Clifton Loo

Clifton Loo, PhD, is a writer and ordained elder whose intellectual and spiritual journey has crossed the worlds of economics, public health, and Christian faith. Raised in an agnostic home, he became a Christian in his early twenties, beginning a lifelong study of Scripture and theology. His scholarly work includes published research in macroeconomics, monetary policy, and public health. In Presence: Essays on the Human Heart, Loo brings that analytical perspective to deeply personal questions of faith, relationships, temptation, suffering, and spiritual growth. Drawing on journal reflections written during a challenging period of his life, he explores how biblical truths become vividly meaningful when tested by lived experience.
