Teaching interests: History of social thought and the social sciences, history and thought of Christianity, world religions, religion and violence

Research interests: Classical sociological theory of religion, religion and violence, St. Anthony of the Desert in the history of art.

Brief biography: The main research I've done focuses on the interaction between religious thought and sociological forms of analysis. I'm especially interested in the "classical" period of sociology. My doctoral dissertation (at Claremont Graduate School, 1987) was on the pioneering German sociologists Ernst Troeltsch and Max Weber, and I've published a dozen or so essays, articles and book chapters on the work of Weber, Troeltsch, and Georg Simmel. I'm currently studying issues related to religion and violence, and gathering material for what I hope will be eventually be a short book on differing artistic depictions through the centuries of St. Anthony of the Desert "fighting his demons."
