Dr Michael J. Rhodes

New Zealand
Carey Baptist College  

My academic work is driven by a desire to help the church hear and respond to God’s call to become a community that participates in God’s mission of justice and mercy. To that end, and based on my experience in Christian community development work, I’m particularly interested in biblical resources for discipleship oriented towards economic and racial justice. I work at the intersection of biblical studies, theological ethics, and contemporary matters of race and class.
