Wholly Citizens: God's Two Realms and Christian Engagement with the World
Wholly Citizens addresses the relation between the church and the world in light of the Reformation teaching of the two realms—especially as presented by Luther. Rather than exploring again the usual texts of Luther from the 1520’s, this book begins with a careful reading of Luther’s Commentary on Psalm 81 (1531), and then considers subsequent interpreters of Luther, both faithful and otherwise, and the dubious legacy they have left the church.

Unborn Bodies: Resurrection and Reproductive Agency
The afterlife is often a concern during fragile moments of reproductive loss. The historical church ignored the death of unborn beings and the precarity of pregnancy, focusing more on the soul than the body. A new approach to eschatology is needed that upholds emerging unborn life and the pregnant believer's moral agency.
