BIOGRAPHY

As a Senior Churchman, Paul Wallis served for 33 years as a Church Doctor, Theological Educator, and Archdeacon in the Anglican Church in Australia. He has published numerous titles on christian mysticism and spirituality and is a popular speaker at conferences around the world. Today Paul is best known for his bestselling series of titles in paleocontact, Escaping from Eden, The Scars of Eden, Echoes of Eden, The Eden Conspiracy, The Invasion of Eden and The Eden Enigma.

As the host of Ancient Knowledge Academy, The 5th Kind, El Quinto Tipo, and the Paul Wallis Channel Paul’s documentaries and interviews are watched by millions worldwide.

Born in Buckinghamshire, England, Paul enjoyed seasons of life in Bath, Nottingham, Portsmouth and London. For a ten-year period he commuted between homes in the UK and Montreal, Canada, later settling in Australia. His travels around the world have included horse trekking in the depths of the Grand Canyon and the heights of the Himalayas, swimming in the Amazon, parachuting in Britain and Australia, and surviving a charging rhinoceros in Zambia – along with more peaceful pilgrimages to Egypt, Zimbabwe, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand and India.

Paul’s studies in languages, linguistics and theology have taken him around the world to study at The University of Bath (UK) The Machiavelli Institute in Florence (Italy) St John’s College and The University of Nottingham (UK) and to the Instituto Pastoral Regional in Belem, Amazonia (Brazil.)

As a Theological Educator, Paul designed training for pastors of churches in the UK, Korea, West Africa and Australia in the ’90s, ’00s, and ’10s, delivering courses on the History of Christian Thought and Biblical Hermeneutics (principles of interpreting texts.)

As a Church Doctor, Paul’s work included planting six new churches in Anglican and charismatic streams through the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s, providing consultancy for Anglican and non-aligned grassroots churches in the ’00’s, and leading community healing and appointment processes as an Intentional Interim Minister and Archdeacon in the Anglican Church in Australia in the ’00-’10s.

Paul’s studies in Hermeneutics and the History of Christian Thought have led him from the familiar canons of mainstream preaching into the world of paleocontact, ancestral narratives and contemporary phenomena. Today, Paul’s books draw on diverse sources as he probes the world’s ancestral narratives for their insights into human origins and human potential.

An Australian by choice, Paul’s heritage is English, Welsh and Ghanaian – with deep ancestry in Switzerland, France and Denmark. Paul is married to Ruth, a passionate educator and the founder of See My Curls. Ruth’s heritage is Ghanaian. Paul and Ruth have three children and live on Australia’s subtropical east coast. Paul is a musician, a mystic, an enthusiastic chef and a barefoot walker.
