Welcome to my blog. I document my interests in academia, list a few of my publications, and explore topics in New Testament Early Christianity!
My name is Shawn J. Wilhite (Ph.D. Durham University; PhD Southern Seminary). I currently teach at California Baptist University (Associate Professor of New Testament), Gateway Seminary (Affliate Faculty in Early Christianity and Patristic Theology), and serve as director for the Center for Ancient Christian Studies.
My primary field of research is New Testament, early Christianity, and Patristic Theology. These interests include the Christian Scriptures (James), early Christian origins (second-century Christianity), and Patristic Theology and spirituality.
My current research explores fourth-century trinitarian theology. I currently serve as series editor for Studies of Patristic Theology and Spirituality with Baylor University Press.
