Teaching

Biblical Studies

I taught “New Testament,” “Principles of Biblical Interpretation,” and “The Death of Jesus.” I authored Concordia’s online courses: “Scripture and its Interpretation: a Global Perspective” and “Callings: Christianity and Vocation.” I also taught “Lutheran Doctrine 1 and 2” from an exegetical perspective.

Archaeology

My course, “Archaeology and the Bible,” included an iteration involving overseas travel. I also worked with students interested in various aspects of field archaeology.

Biblical Greek

I introduced my students to the “Basics of Biblical Greek” and offered reading opportunities focused on the Gospels and the Epistles.

University Honors Program in litteris fideque

Although the program has been phased out, one of my great joys was to direct and teach in the University Honors Program for twelve classes. These interdisciplinary courses sought to integrate faith and learning while meeting the General Education requirements of the university.
