Theology and Biblical Studies
Biblical history, textual traditions, authorship, the Apocrypha, early Jewish and Christian writings, church history, doctrine, translation history, and the relationship between scripture, culture, and public life.
Research
Research across faith, history, society, technology, and global affairs.
My research is driven by a belief that complex problems require interdisciplinary thinking. I am especially interested in the places where theology, history, sociology, international relations, technology, culture, leadership, public policy, and community development intersect.
