Professor of New Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary

Wilmore, Kentucky, United States

About

I am intensely interested in understanding God and God's Word (Scripture) in its "complete context"​ including its beginning with the original contexts (historical, linguistic, and theological) and its contemporaneous personal-social appropriations across the diversity of human cultures and experiences. God's Word is truly our Word, and most preeminently Jesus, the Messiah, our Lord. So, I strive to help people interpret and explicate the meaning and significance of God with us, especially in my areas of expertise, Greek language, Discourse study, and Jewish-Greco-Roman backgrounds to the New Testament.
