■ Profile
I teach classes engaging the entire history of Christian theology (such as systematic theology and Christian ethics), but my specialized training is in early Christian theology and New Testament studies. I have research interests in Christian understandings of salvation, eschatology (with a particular focus on resurrection), and theodicy (that is, how a good God could allow evil).
