After completing my doctoral work at Baylor University in part under the supervision of SA’s Frank Beckwith, I took a job teaching and as an administrator at Houston Baptist University. It’s been my privilege to be at the school during a time of growth in the student body and the hiring of many new faculty members.
Last weekend, HBU took a big hit from Hurricane Ike. Every update I get, the damage estimates seem to rise. Please consider giving to reconstruction efforts at www.hbu.edu. You can read more from our president Robert Sloan and from the Baptist Standard.

For the last year, I’ve worked at Houston Baptist University where we are striving to push Christian higher education to a new level. Part of our strategy has been to publish a journal of Christian thought aimed at the educated layperson.
We call it The City. Please check it out and consider signing up for a free subscription. We aim to be provocative, thoughtful, and most important, interesting.
The Summer 2008 issue of The City features:
- Louis Markos on Milton and the Thorny Road to Truth
- Tim Keller on Bringing the Gospel to the City
- The Ten Pillars: An Introduction to a Vision
- Patrick Deneen on Culture, Technology, and Virtue
- Joseph Knippenberg on Man’s War with Nature
- Joe Carter on Evangelicals and an Uncertain Manifesto
- Reviews of Anne Rice’s Road to Cana
- George Washington on Church and State
- Ryan T. Anderson Explains Benedict for Baptists
- Hunter Baker on Charles Colson’s Faith
- With Poetry from A.E. Stallings and Jayme Metzgar
- And the Word Spoken by the Rev. John Knox
