He is currently writing a theological commentary on First Corinthians.
His publications include Preaching Fools: The Gospel as a Rhetoric of Folly (with Johan Cilliers; 2012); The Word Before the Powers: An Ethic of Preaching (2002); The Word on the Street: Performing the Scriptures in the Urban Context, (with Stanley P.
