Enoch invites his students to engage in critical thinking about ethics in the moral life. Utilizing a covenant model, Enoch grounds ethics in the Bible. In addition to a required course in Christian ethics, he teaches courses in sociology of religion, pastoral ethics, black theology and the theology of Martin Luther King, Jr.

As the first African-American to serve full time on the Eden faculty, Enoch has a passion for building a more inclusive society. He reminds students of the rich legacy of African scholarship as a source of western philosophy and critical thought.

“I teach my students that theological diversity is not a deficiency but a strength in a learned community of teachers and scholars.”

In his ethics course, students ask questions to define their understanding of a good society.

“I like to use the analogy that ethics is to society what a dipstick is to an engine. One needs to check the level of oil in a car to make it run properly. We must also check the critical-moral level in a society for the society to run properly.”

The author of nine books, Enoch recently published Ethical Issues That Matter. Enoch recently received the Boston University School of Theology Distinguished Alum Award.

In his spare time, Enoch likes to spend time with his wife, Gloria, two adult sons and one very special grandson. He also likes to read and write poetry.
