I organize the annual Philosophy of Religion Conference. The website can be found here. The conference is moving to Baylor University beginning in 2006-7, and the dates for the next conference are February 6-10, 2008.

I edit a recurring volume of original articles in the philosophy of religion with Oxford University Press titled Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Religion, with the inaugural volume due out in late 2007.

My interests lie in these areas:

Metaphysics & Epistemology

Logic

Ethics
