About

I've spent 20+ years building software systems, but my real calling is helping people think more clearly about faith and meaning. I write about theology and transcendence at harveyramer.com, roast coffee as a creative practice, and recently returned to music composition after years away. Ignaria grew out of my frustration with theological debates that ignore historical sources—I wanted a way to ground conversations in what Christians actually said across 2,000 years, not just modern interpretations.

What Theological Questions Do You Want to Answer?

In my case, I had many questions about the early development of Christian doctrine and Biblical canon formation. I wondered how the early Church fathers thought about modern issues, and I found their candor and unvarnished opinions refreshing.
I am also interested in how ideas develop over time and Ignaria allows me to understand what Christians have taught about a particular issue or doctrine over a time period. For example, Was infant baptism practiced commonly from 70 AD - 300 AD?"

Ignaria - Search 2,000 years of Christian theology in seconds

Most theology research means Googling modern blog posts, not primary sources. Ignaria searches 2,000 years of Christian texts—church fathers, reformers, systematic theologians—and gives you synthesized answers with citations in seconds. Find out what Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, or Barth actually wrote about your question. Built for pastors, seminary students, and anyone who wants to know what the historical church actually believed, not just what modern Christians say they believed.
