ABOUT
THEOTIVITY is the combination of theology and creativity
Thaddeus M. Maharaj, BFA, MTS
Creative & Theologian
Thaddeus is the founder of THEOTIVITY. He is a creative and theologian who is passionate about using these two areas of interest for the glory of God and the good of His people. THEOTIVITY is a way of combining these two great passions in his life to bless others.
Born in the Caribbean twin-island Republic of Trinidad & Tobago, Thaddeus is a multi-disciplinary visual artist who has worked in various creative media including 3D character art & sculpting, video editing & motion graphics, traditional painting, illustration, web & graphic design.
He holds a B.F.A. in 3D Computer Animation and a Diploma in 3D Animation & Visual Effects. He worked in the video game industry on AAA games for several years before going to seminary to earn his Master of Theological Studies (M.TS). He then worked for several years in full-time ministry in the local church and has done mission work throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. He has a keen interest, particularly in the areas of public theology, apologetics, biblical exposition, discipleship in the local church and helping others integrate their faith and creativity.
He is also the Owner and Creative Director of Kurios Creative Media—a creative media business offering services in 3D sculpting, videography, design and more…
Below are three core values that define THEOTIVITY’s ministry:
BIBLICAL & REFORMED
The goal is to encourage thinking and reasoning from a consistent Biblical Worldview – testing and establishing all things by the Word of God. I affirm the authority, inerrancy & sufficiency of God’s Word and seek to apply its truths to all of life. I am also unapologetically theologically Reformed – holding to and writing from a Reformed (SLBC 1689) understanding of the Christian faith. However, I gladly welcome all Christians from whatever denominations and non-Christians to enjoy and make use of the content on this site.
RESEARCHED & THOUGHTFUL
I aim to ensure that the content created is well-researched and thoughtful. As such, sources are cited (wherever possible and appropriate) to give confidence and transparency. Too often today we’re taught what to think instead of how to think. Even if you come away with a different conclusion, I desire to help encourage thoughtful engagement on the topics addressed and hope you walk away intellectually stimulated.
CREATIVE & ACCESSIBLE
The aim is to create and package solid, biblical content in creative and compelling ways to communicate deep theological truths in a way that helps to facilitate understanding and engagement. I desire to make Gospel-centered content which is not merely “artsy” and esoteric, yet more than just pragmatic – blending appealing aesthetics with clarity. I don’t believe in “art for art’s sake” but rather “art for God’s sake” and that is the goal of THEOTIVITY. I hope that this helps make the content accessible yet deep.
