Bio
I am an ordained Presbyterian minister and have served in churches in Oregon, North Carolina, and California. I have also taught courses on Christianity and American Religion at the university level. My Ph.D (Religious Studies, Trinity Saint David, University of Wales, 2011) evaluates the Bible and slavery controversy in 19th Century America through an analysis of "American Slavery and the Immediate Duty of Southern Slaveholders" an unpublished manuscript written in 1862 by Eli Washington Caruthers, a Presbyterian pastor in Greensboro, North Carolina. In addition to my dissertation, I have written numerous papers on the topic including "Slavery", published in the Oxford Encyclopedia of the Bible and Ethics. I currently live in St. Louis, Missouri. I enjoy watching movies, reading, listening to my wife, Michelle, play her viola, finishing "projects" in our city home, walking our dog in beautiful Forest Park , and spinning in the basement.
