Why I love Hope

Josh loves the friendly and welcoming community at Hope, as well as the intellectual environment that naturally surrounds a higher education institution.

Outside the college

Josh enjoys spending time at home with his wife and two sons. He loves good beer, good food and good books, and when he’s not reading, he’s writing. His interests include the intersection of creativity and the Christian imagination, Christian cultural engagement, and popular theology.

His work has been published atThe North American Anglican,The Rabbit Room,Story Warren、ChristianityToday.com、福音联盟等等。安德鲁·彼得森(Andrew Peterson)曾把乔什的一首诗称为“霍普金斯从未写过的最好的一首诗”，这几乎是人们对他的作品所作的最伟大的评价。

Josh is currently pursuing an MFA in creative writing at New Saint Andrews College.
