About Me

I am associate professor of philosophy at Northwest Nazarene University. During the 2010-2011 academic year, I was a Templeton Research Fellow housed in St. Peter's College at Oxford University. I am currently working on a number of book projects. The first of these is a book in philosophical theology, focusing on free will. You can see a partial draft here (comments welcome).

I am also co-editing, with Craig Boyd, a volume for Oxford University Press tentatively entitled Virtues and Their Vices. A brief description of the project can be found here.

I have published a number of papers on the metaphysics of free will, culminating in my 2008 book Free Will: Sourcehood and Its Alternatives. I am currently working on a revised and expanded second edition, which is due out in 2012.

My other books include:
Arguing about Religion (Routledge 2009)
Metaphysics and God (Routledge 2009)

I currently serve at the Philosophy of Religion area editor for the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and serve on the executive committee of the Society of Christian Philosophers.

In the summer of 2012, I will be co-directing a Calvin Summer Seminar on the Virtues and Vices with Christina Van Dyke.
