Professor of Religion at Syracuse University, Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis, and University of Wyoming; Robert A. Spivey Professor of Religion and History at Florida State University. Lots of writing -- American religious history, history of Christianity, religion and business.

Since retirement I have been writing novels and enjoying life with my husband Keith and my friends, mostly in NYC and on Zoom.

One day in Art History 101, Miss Finkenstadt's magnificent lecture on trompe l'oeil prompted a standing ovation. In all my 42 years as a professor, I never heard of such a thing.
