I am currently serving a term as President of the Calvin Studies Society after planning and hosting the most recent Calvin Studies Colloquium at Wheaton College on “Calvin, Women, and Gender” (April 2022).

Other forthcoming projects include a Reformation Commentary on Scripture volume (IVP Academic) with Derek Cooper and a Historical Theology of the Reformation textbook (Zondervan Academic).
