Currently, I'm working on a monograph in philosophy of history and historiography, more specifically getting clear on our concepts of the past and history through Wittgenstein and Ordinary Language Philosophy. However, my research interests are ultimately theological and span across patristic and medieval theology and biblical exegesis, contemporary theology and philosophy, and 20th century historical theory. My work’s overarching purposes are aimed at making ancient forms of Christian biblical exegesis persuasive in our contemporary intellectual milieu.edit

Published in the March issue of Lutheran Forum, this is theological reflection on the gospel and its demands on Christian life with regards to neighbors, enemies, and immigrants for non-specialists and lay Christians. The piece was occasioned by US political and social issues in late 2016 and early 2017 and how the American Church should conceive of itself and its mission within such a context. The essay has a Lutheran flavor but is decidedly not merely Lutheran; it aims to be useful for all Christians in the US and hopefully beyond insofar as it articulates the gospel clearly and faithfully.

This paper argues that Richard Hays risks reducing the Pauline telos of humanity to ethics and ecclesiality, while offering Gregory of Nyssa as an alternative to understanding the human telos in Paul. More specifically, contemporary scholars in second temple Judaism are marshaled to support a sympathetic reading of Nyssa in our current setting.
