E-mail Professor Adam
He gives presentations at academic meetings and technology conferences as an invited keynote presenter. His work in postmodern theory and theological interpretation has been the subject of panel discussions at the Society of Biblical Literature and the Catholic Biblical Association, and he has been sought out to consult and give presentations on technology, spirituality, and theological education. His widely-read weblog appears at the Disseminary website.
His classes at Seabury emphasize the value of learning to read the New Testament through the church’s interpretive tradition, in order to enhance students’ preaching, pastoral practice, and spiritual engagement with Scripture. He is presently working on projects on the Gospel of Matthew, the Epistle of James, and exegetical method.
