Professional Activity

Before coming to Valparaiso in 1996 I taught at the University of Virginia (1976-78) and at Oberlin College (1978-96).  I have served on the Editorial Board and as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Religious Ethics.  I have also served as an Associate Editor for Religious Studies Review, on the Editorial Board of the Annual of the Society of Christian Ethics, and on the Editorial Advisory Board of First Things.  My published work falls generally into the area of religious ethics.  Most recently I have edited (together with William Werpehowski) The Oxford Handbook of Theological Ethics (2005).  I have a special interest in bioethics, am a Fellow of the Hastings Center, and have been a member of the President's Council on Bioethics since its inception in January, 2002.
