Current Interests
My recent research on the meaning of miracles in world religions resulted
in a manuscript now in the final stages of publication. The book explores
popular enthusiasm for miracles, official regulation of miracle claims,
and religious objections to reliance on miracles--drawing on examples
from Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, and Islamic traditions. My long-standing
interest in American religion led to an essay exploring the relation between
Jonathan Edwards, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Mary Baker Eddy, published
in a volume commemmorating the 300th anniversary of Edwards's birth.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy fishing and hiking, as well as racquetball--and I have been known to spend some time over a pool table.
