His philosophical publications are mainly in the areas of
epistemology, the philosophy of mind and of logic, and on
the philosophy of Edmund Husserl, including extensive translations
of Husserl's early writings from German into English. His
English translation and edition of Edmund Husserl's Philosophy
of Arithmetic was released in September, 2003. His Logic and
the Objectivity of Knowledge, a study of Husserl's early philosophy,
appeared in 1984, and his Early Writings in the Philosophy
of Logic and Mathematics (1993) makes available to the English
reader nearly all of the shorter philosophical works that
Husserl produced on the way to the phenomenological breakthrough
recorded in his Logical Investigations of 1900-1901.
He also lectures and publishes in religion. His most recent book, Knowing Christ Today, was published in May 2009. The Great Omission, which was published in 2006, received a Christianity Today annual Book Award in the Christian Living category in 2007. Renovation of
