He got his B.A. from Wheaton, and his M.Div. and Ph.D from Princeton Theological Seminary; his baccalaureate and doctorate were conferred magna cum laude. These significant accomplishments were all to expand his knowledge and deepen his faith as a born-again Evangelical Christian. He taught at Rutgers, and now he teaches for the Department of Religious Studies at UNC Chapel Hill. I see his biography as being very impressive.

It’s likely that the overwhelming majority of people who profess to be Christians believe that very thing as well. I don’t think anyone…believers or not…has much of a problem with people choosing to believe that.


Pretty impress CV I'd say.
