About my research

Recently I've placed my research within the category of Public Systematic Theology. I think of public theology as originally conceived within the church, critically honed in the academy, and offered to the wider culture for the sake of the common good. Oh, yes, I'm still quite concerned about doctrine. But I treat numerous topics that cross boundaries such as theology 'n' natural science, religion in politics, extraterrestrial intelligence in culture, and ecological ethics. That's my scholarship. I also treat such matters through fiction. I'm preparing a series of espionage thrillers. The protagonist is a woman pastor -- named Leona Foxx -- who is also an astrobiologist and a covert spy. These novels include science, religion, and good ol' fashioned violence.
