ACADEMIC INTERESTS:
My academic career started in my Ph.D. program, where I examined the literary unity of Amos 3-6. I still enjoy reading the Hebrew prophets and looking at connections and differences between their concerns and our own. Social justice in the prophets remains a relevant topic of concern today, this topic continues to interest me both in the classroom and in real life.
I also love the field of Old Testament theology. I’m fascinated with the discussion about the difference between the Old Testament as a record of the beliefs of ancient Israel vs. theology for believers today. One particular area where I am especially involved is with the discussion about the violence of God in scripture. Violence in society today has brought renewed interest (and even revulsion!) in the violence perpetrated by God in the Bible. I love reading, writing, discussing this topic.
HOBBIES/INTERESTS:
I am originally from the east coast of Maryland and my wife is from Pennsylvania. We have a three-year-old daughter who was born here in California. We love traveling through the States and Europe (Germany especially!). We enjoy discovering new places, seeing new sights, especially eating local cuisine. Still, it’s hard to turn down a movie in the cinema or a day spent on a California beach.
