David Haddorff is Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics at St. John’s University, New York. His principle research interests include the fields of social and political theory and ethics, and the theology and ethics of Karl Barth. He is an ordained minister in the Reformed Church in America, and also serves in various capacities in that denomination. His doctorate is in historical theology from Marquette University, where he studied modern theology and ethics. In addition to historical studies, he’s published in the fields of systematic theology, Christian ethics, and Karl Barth studies. His published books include: Dependence and Freedom: The Moral Thought of Horace Bushnell; a 70 page monograph: “Karl Barth’s Theological Politics” in the reprint of Karl Barth’s Community, State, and Church: Three Essays; and most recently, Christian Ethics as Witness: Barth’s Ethics for a World at Risk, where he provides a detailed study of Barth’s theological ethics and applies to the current ethical issues in politics, economics, and the environment. He is currently working on the book: Trinitarian Politics: A Political Theology of Divine Action, in which he brings together studies in trinitarian theology and political theology, particularly in light of Barth’s theology.
