My co-edited book, Christianity in North America with Drs. Todd Johnson and Ken Ross was released in the summer. It is volume 7 in Edinburgh Companions to Global Christianity and each volume covers a different part of the world. It was tremendous joy to work with Todd and Ken on this volume and I hope that you can all order a copy for your libraries.
Below is my newest piece for Baptist News Global, “On Building walls”. Please do read and share my piece on what is happening in Palestine.
A Palestinian youth walks past the painting of a dove of peace wearing a flak-jacket which is widely attributed to be by British artist Banksy on a wall in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2007. The illusive Banksy is thought to have created a number of works on walls in the biblical West Bank town as part of a project the artist began in 2005, including a number on Israel’s separation barrier.
