He regularly teaches undergraduate theology courses: Theology I (God, Jesus Christ, Humanity, Sin), Theology II (the Holy Spirit, Salvation, the Church, the Last Things), Martin Luther's theology, and the Human Body in Christian Perspective (an integration seminar considering science and theology on the topics of ethnicity, fashion, sport, food, medical technology, gender, sexuality, suffering, rest, sleep, and work).
