Gene Edward Veith is an author, scholar, and Professor of Literature emeritus at Patrick Henry College. He received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Kansas in 1979. Additionally, he holds honorary doctorates from Concordia Theological Seminary, Concordia University California, and Patrick Henry College. His writing explores issues of Christianity and culture, working from the perspective of confessional Lutheranism. Specifically, it seeks to apply the doctrines of Vocation and the Two Kingdoms. His advice to other writers on Patheos is to “Write regularly and predictably so that your readers can make a habit of reading your posts. I try to put up something every day, and this has built me a following… Another bit of advice is to appreciate your commenters and to join in the discussions when you can. I’ve built something of a virtual community that has been with me for years, readers who have come to know not only my column but also each other.”
