"As a theological
educator, I see teaching as a form of ministry, in which people
experience mutual learning, respect, and challenge. Biblical
texts can provide a wonderful basis for such a teaching
ministry, because they model the interrelationships of different
people of diverse traditions, living in various settings and
interpreting in many ways the meaning of life and relationship
with God. Hence, as I study biblical texts, I am especially
interested in exploring that rich heritage of conceptual
diversity, and in asking what it means for us to inherit,
interpret, and struggle with these theologies in our ministry
within the Church and in our service to all humanity."
