- Interests: My great family, golf, and, most importantly, God. I enjoying reading very much. I am a student at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and am working on an M.Div. in Urban Missions. I am interested in Textual Criticism, Hermeneutics, Second Temple Judaism, The New Perspective on Paul, Calvinism, Reformed Dogmatics, Church History, Biblical Counseling and how all of that relates and transforms people's lives through the power of the Gospel. I also enjoy looking at old architecture and LOVE listening to J.S. Bach. In my spare time I also enjoy outrunning speeding trains and leaping tall buildings in a single bound.
