I’m an author, a blogger at The Huffington Post, ToledoFAVS (local hub of the Religion News Service), and assistant professor of the history of Christianity and religious studies and director of the Master of Arts in Theological Studies program at Winebrenner Theological Seminary. I also teach courses for the Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies program at The University of Findlay .
I’m the author of Katherine Parr: A Guided Tour of the Life and Thought of a Reformation Queen (2009). My latest book is Becoming Divine: Jonathan Edwards’s Incarnational Spirituality within the Christian Tradition (Cascade Books, 2011).
My forthcoming book, co-authored with Menachem Wecker (U.S. News & World Report, Houston Chronicle), is Consider No Evil: Two Faith Traditions and the Problem of Academic Freedom (under contract and due to publisher in 2013).
With my wife Mindy, I’ve co-authored a creative nonfiction YA series (ages 9-14) on the history of Christianity, covering ancient through modern periods (the History Lives series). I’m the editor of a classic Dutch-Latin text, and I’ve contributed chapters and articles on the history of Christianity. I have a B.A. in Theology, a M.A. in the History of Christian Thought, and a Ph.D. in Historical and Theological Studies. I have lived in Michigan, Perrysburg (Ohio), Chicago, Philadelphia, and Birmingham.
