Personal Message
I try whenever possible to set students loose on compelling problems that require theological concepts to solve, supplying the concepts only after they prove useful. I very much like how Allen Callahan puts it: "[I]t is... students who supply the pearls. And I, the irritants."
Since coming to PTS in 2009 I have been so impressed by the quality and dedication of the students, and the collegiality and expertise of faculty and staff. I admire the PTS community for trying to stay ahead of emerging technologies and the changing religious landscape, while also taking seriously its call to remember. I have a homepage that serves as a virtual office. My personal blog is The Seedbed. (PTS is not responsible for either site.) You can also click the button to follow me on Twitter.
