In 2008, he joined the staff at Protestants for the Common Good as Dean of the Academy, with responsibilities for designing, staffing, and delivering a curriculum for faith-based social justice advocacy training.
He is the author of two books, The Hermeneutics of Election (University of America Press, 1990) and No Partiality: The Idolatry of Race and the New Humanity (InterVarsity Press, 2002), along with many reviews and articles. He received his B.A. from William Jewell College in 1971, his M.Div. from the American Baptist Seminary of the West in 1975, and his Ph.D. from the Graduate Theological Union in 1988.
