Holder of the Anna & Donald Waite
Chair in Jesuit Education (AY 2014–15)

I am a Wisconsin Province Jesuit, raised 200 miles west of Omaha, in Holdrege, NE. It’s a delight and privilege for me to be at Creighton University this academic year. For the last eleven years, I have been teaching New Testament at Boston College School of Theology and Ministry (formerly Weston Jesuit School of Theology, until 2008). In that capacity, I write and teach on the importance of Scripture for the life of the Church, not least its pastoral ministry.

I’m passionate about the importance of breaking open the riches of the Sacred Text for those who are committed to its central place in their spiritual lives.
