As we wrap up the Faithful is Successful series, ESN caught up with the book’s three editors for an interview. Nathan Grills, David E. Lewis, and Josh Swamidass reflect on community, faithfulness, and other themes of the series below. Enjoy Part 2 of this interview! Part 1 can be found here.

Ambition and Identity: Interview with Bruce Huber

stairs photo

ESN continues its series of interviews with authors of Faithful Is Successful, with Mark Hansard interviewing Bruce Huber. You can read a post on Bruce’s chapter in Faithful Is Successful here and a follow up post here. Bruce Huber is an Associate Professor of Law at the Notre Dame Law School in South Bend, Indiana, where he and his wife, Sarah, are raising their four children. He earned a B.A. in Political Science at Stanford University and a J.D. and Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of California at Berkeley. Before his graduate work, he served for four years as the minister to college students at the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, an experience which continues to shape his ideas about faith and vocation. Before joining the faculty at Notre Dame in 2011, he taught for two years in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College. His research explores environmental, property, natural resources, and energy law, and he attends the South Bend Christian Reformed Church. You can find him on Twitter at @Bruce_Huber.  [Read more…] about Ambition and Identity: Interview with Bruce Huber
