Biographical Information
My teaching philosophy is primarily based on the virtue of sincerity and passion in Christian scholarship, believing that students will learn the best when a teacher continues quality research. My fundamental pedagogic goals are to help my students to think critically in terms of Christian anthropological perspectives, to acquire missiological skills of learning people so as to practice an incarnational lifestyle in various cultural contexts, and to creatively build up their missionary methodology both faithful to the Bible and appropriate to their context.
