He holds two earned PhD’s (Clinical Psychology and Systematic Theology) and took his education at UCLA, UC Berkeley, Harvard Medical School, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, among others. Dr. Evans was a post-doctoral Resident Graduate and Teaching Fellow in Moral Philosophy and Ethics (with an emphasis in bioethics) at Harvard University, and completed additional post-doctoral studies in theology and ethics at the University of Oxford where he subsequently returned as a Visiting Scholar.
