Harold Heie is a senior fellow at The Colossian Forum. He previously served as founding director of the Center for Christian Studies (now the Center for Faith and Inquiry) at Gordon College and as vice president for academic affairs at Messiah College and Northwestern College in Iowa, after teaching mathematics at Gordon College and The King's College. He holds a doctorate in mechanical and aerospace sciences from Princeton University and served as a trustee of the Center for Public Justice and as a senior fellow at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). Harold's website, www.respectfulconversation.net, is devoted to encouraging and modeling respectful conversations concerning contentious issues about which Christians have strong disagreements. The eCircle on "Reforming Political Discourse" that is the basis for this book is the fourth major eCircle he has hosted on his website, the first three of which resulted in books: Evangelicals on Public Policy Issues: Sustaining a Respectful Political Conversation (2014); A Future for American Evangelicalism: Commitment, Openness, and Conversation (2015); and Respectful LGBT Conversations: Seeking Truth, Giving Love, and Modeling Christian Unity (2018).
