He has a Ph.D. with distinction in political philosophy from Yale University. He is the author of seven books, most recently The Church on Notice: Overcoming Our Complacency, Consumerism, Idolatry and Injustice with Luther’s 95 Theses (Spirit of Hope) and Joy for the World: How Christianity Lost Its Cultural Influence and Can Begin Rebuilding It, and the co-editor of four books.
