I discovered a love for Scripture and theology while an undergraduate at Wheaton College where I majored in Ancient Languages. From there, I began a long and winding journey into the Anglican fold and was confirmed in the Church of England while in graduate school at Durham University. My teaching and research interests are shaped by the conviction that the study of Scripture and attention to the church's creedal and doctrinal traditions belong together in the theological task. I try to help my students understand how attention to Scripture formed the church's creedal heritage and, likewise, how that heritage can now help us to read Scripture afresh as the word of the Triune God for us today.
