Everyone in the classroom is a learner, myself included.  I prefer teaching in a seminar format where we all engage in informed conversation about the primary or secondary texts before us.

  • The Psalms


Research Interests

  • The Book of Psalms


Denominational Affiliation

Hope for the Future of the Church

I would like to see the church develop the art of engaged listening and humble speaking.
