Professional & Ministry Experience: As a researcher, educator, and author, I maintain a dual emphasis in Biblical studies and philosophy, appreciating the interplay between the two disciplines. With respect to Biblical studies, I focus on hermeneutic theory, the Biblical-language based exegetical method, and contextual exposition. My philosophical pursuits consider especially the mutual interdependence of theology, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and social-political thought, and how the Bible informs each category. I teach in the classroom and at scholarly meetings and conferences, and am committed to ongoing research and publication. As an academic and institutional leader, I am dedicated to the continual development of personnel at every organizational level through skills assessment, career-track mapping, and mentoring. I also advocate a VERITAS formula for leadership, involving and empowering stakeholders to maximize their potential and influence. I consult with academic institutions and churches to assess and improve their health.
