Higher Education

I’m currently working on a book with Brandon Withrow, of Winebrenner Theological Seminary, tentatively called Consider No Evil: Two Faith Traditions and the Problem of Academic Freedom in Religious Higher Education. The book is due out either in late 2013 or early 2014 from Cascade Books (Wipf and Stock Publishers).
