My book, A Human-Shaped God: Theology of an Embodied God won the 2024 Grawemeyer Award in Religion. I’m a theologian, biblical scholar, and Episcopal priest.

I am Associate Rector of Christ Church Cathedral in Lexington, Kentucky. I taught Old Testament and Semitic languages for almost ten years at the seminary and college levels and I earned a PhD in Bible and ancient Near East with an emphasis in cuneiform languages from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio.
