Bio

I am a professor of politics at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where I also direct the Rich Foundation Urban Leadership Program. Much of my scholarly work focuses on the relationship between religion and politics.

I am also an Adjunct Fellow of the Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs at Ashland University in Ohio. In addition to contributing occasional essays and columns to the Ashbrook website, I am one of the principal bloggers at No Left Turns.

My political (and other) commentary has appeared in The American Enterprise Online, The American Spectator Online, The Weekly Standard, the Claremont Review of Books, and Touchstone magazine, as well as in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Marietta Daily Journal.

I live in Dunwoody, Georgia with my wife, Lee, and our two children, Liam and Charlotte. We attend Smyrna Presbyterian Church (PCA).
