Formerly a pastor, I became a university professor. For 28 years I served as Professor of New Testament & Greek at the University of Northwestern-St. Paul. I recently retired from fulltime teaching and now serve as an adjunct professor at UNW. I have written and published numerous essays on a wide range of topics for a variety of periodicals, journals, and books. I have also written, contributed to, or edited several books. My principal field of study is the Greek New Testament, but I write and publish on diverse topics including current cultural issues. My wife and I are avid world travelers. We have visited several European countries, Middle East nations, and the Far East countries also. We delight in spending time with our family, including our six grandchildren. I enjoy crafting wood projects, biking, reading, playing games with my wife.

Understanding the Times 1.0—Herbert Schlossberg: A Prophetic Voice Unheeded

Do you recognize the prophetic nature of what Herbert Schlossberg portrays with the quotes I have cited? When I read Idols for Destruction, I did not realize how prophetic his voice was. When I cited him a decade later in a presentation, I failed to recognize his prophetic voice. Furthermore, I did not understand that my citation of Schlossberg’s book in my presentation bore something of a prophetic role to those who heard me. I should have realized it because I received a prophet’s welcome.
