Joy of Professor and Scholar

As a professor, I am careful about the materials I present to my students, seeking fresh books and ideas to enhance their learning experience. As a scholar, I enjoy delving into texts, finding joy in discovering new ways of reading and uncovering deep structures that offer valuable insights into our lives.

I am working on the Lord's Prayer and have developed a new way of interpreting it. This approach incorporates eclectic techniques such as formal literary analysis focusing on poetic parallelism, theological interpretation, and interdisciplinary strategies that draw from psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience. I have created a diagram to illustrate this approach, which serves as a blueprint for my book. I keep pushing myself, envisioning the ultimate fruit of this ongoing endeavor.
