Henrik Kostow

Henrik Kostow is A Danish Theologian and Author.

Born in 1973 in Denmark, Kostow has lived an extraordinarily varied life marked by blindness since age 19, extensive theological studies and work abroad in England, Italy, Germany, and the USA.

Although he identifies primarily with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark (Folkekirken) today, his theological formation has Catholic roots, and he remains active in faith communication, podcasting, and public commentary on politics, current events, Israel, Iran, and other global issues. At 18 he converted to the Roman Catholic Church, drawn to its traditions and liturgy. Later, however, he returned to the established Lutheran church in Denmark, while retaining respect for Catholic theology.

Tragedy struck at age 19, when Kostow lost his sight and the event profoundly shaped his path. Rather than allowing blindness to limit him, he pursued higher education with determination. He studied theology in England, Germany, and Italy. In 2007 he graduated from the Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Vallendar (PTHV) in Germany - a Catholic institution known for its rigorous philosophical and theological training. This period of study abroad immersed him in diverse ecclesiastical contexts and languages. After graduation he worked for several years in Germany and the United States, gaining practical experience in pastoral or theological roles and firsthand knowledge of different church cultures.

His commentary frequently touches on politics, international affairs, Israel, Iran, and figures such as Donald Trump. He has shared strong views on topics ranging from UN criticism to support for protesters in Iran and skepticism toward certain activist movements.
