Independent Researcher (Religious studies not elsewhere classified)

Mississippi, USA

I am a Christian minister, veteran newspaper journalist, and independent scholar of Church History. As a researcher, I study individual life histories that are linked to Pentecostalism. Specifically, I focus on the biographies of leaders and pioneers in Pentecostal movements, especially those originating in the United States. One of the reasons for this focus is the belief that individual life stories are perennial object lessons for life as we know it. The individual stories, I believe, offer insight into life experiences by revealing struggles and shedding light on both our spiritual and physical existence in the present and future. My doctoral thesis focused on the life history of F.F. Bosworth, the author of Christ the Healer. In an effort to understand his development as a famous healing evangelist, I analyzed his life using Social Cognitive Career Theory. My research culminated in the first critical and comprehensive research on his entire life history.
