On a plaque mounted in my office are the words of the great
pietist theologian Johann Albrecht Bengel: "Apply yourself
wholly to the text; apply the text wholly to yourself."
In my academic career, I have applied myself to the text by
teaching New Testament and writing commentaries on the text-on
James, 2 Peter and Jude, and Romans. I have also sought-undoubtedly
less successfully-to apply the text I teach and write about
to myself. Yet since the text I deal with is no less than
God's word to his people, I must grapple not only with original
meaning but with application to myself and to the contemporary
church. Toward that end, I have also been active in my local
church, serving as elder most years, in teaching and preaching
to the church, and in conducting home Bible studies. Also
very rewarding has been my service on the Committee on Bible
Translation, the group of scholars charged with revising the
text of the NIV and with producing the TNIV.
For over twenty years my ministry was based at Trinity Evangelical
Divinity School, in Deerfield, IL. Now that I am at Wheaton
Graduate School, I am enjoying the challenge of adapting to
a new institution, discovering the delights of new colleagues,
and meeting the challenges posed by a different type of student.
My academic interests revolve around the interface of exegesis
and theology. I seek to model to students a rigorous approach
to the Greek text that always asks the "so what"
questions of ultimate significance and application. The Pauline
and general letters have been my special focus within the
NT canon. In the next few years I will be writing commentaries on Galatians and Hebrews, a Pauline theology, and a theological/practical book on creation care.
My wife Jenny and I have five grown children.
