Curriculum Vitae
Near the close of his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, the Venerable
Bede wrote this prayer:
I pray thee, merciful Jesus, that as thou hast graciously granted me sweet draughts
from the word which tells of thee, so wilt thou, of thy goodness, grant that I may
come at length to thee, the fount of all wisdom, and stand before thy face for ever
(5.25).
Covenant's BTS program cultivates a similar vision of Jesus Christ, one committed
to knowing his word and thus also committed to seeing him as he has revealed himself
and as he will be manifested in his glory.
Any student who wants to know the mystery of Christ and discover what it means to
see him should consider Covenant.

Interests / Specialization
My 研究 interests gravitate most toward theologies of divine transcendence in
Graeco-Roman, Early Jewish, and Early Christian thought. In my doctoral work, I argued
that unless Jesus presents the visibility of God to humanity and brings God into physical
proximity to humanity, belief cannot exist. I pursued how the incarnation is a material
revelation of God. Study of the role of divine embodiment in the Hebrew 圣经 and
Ancient Near East as well as of place as the locus of all human experience drove this
研究. In subsequent studies, I intend to explore the nature of divine transcendence
in the first century.
