enjoy listening to classical music, paddling my kayak, and
spending time with friends.

“Christianity has a long history of defining itself
over and against an assumed defective Judaism. I am committed
to raising awareness of the caricatures of Judaism that
permeate biblical preaching and teaching and perpetuate
Christian anti-Judaism. I believe that the integrity of
the Christian Gospel is at stake.”
* * *
“I want our students to be passionate, creative, responsible
interpreters of the Scriptures, knowledgeable of both ancient
contexts and contemporary audiences.”
*

“The central focus of my teaching is to make the language
and images of the Scriptures a vital part of Christian life
and spirituality. I am passionate about promoting mutual
understanding between Jews and Christians, and I am committed
to relating my work as a scholar and teacher to parish life
and ministry.”

“Churches
need leaders who are prepared to lead churches that do not
yet exist. Its leaders must be equipped to lead through
change. And our country needs leaders who value the religions
and cultures of others, whether it’s the ancient world
of Israel, the Mideast today, or those in our midst who
live in unspeakable poverty.
“And the world needs poets and prophets. We need truth-tellers
and meaning-makers, who help us see the world as God sees
it and call us to create that world. This is what we’re
about at United.” |
