About Me

Christian philosopher, teacher, writer, preacher. I have written ten books, co-edited one, and published numerous articles in academic journals (Sophia, Religious Studies, Philosophia Christi, Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith, Inquiry, etc.) and in popular publications (Christian Research Journal, Christianity Today, Books and Culture, Radix, etc.), as well as in newspapers (The Denver Post, The Rocky Mountain News, The Seattle Times, etc.).

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?

Only God could do that.
