DBU REPORT 16 NEWS&NOTES CELEBRATING NEW BOOKS FROM THE DBU FAMILY Professor of Philosophy Travis Dickinson’s New Wandering Toward God On the evening of February 7, DBU alumnus and longtime friend of the University Dr. Marcus “Goodie” Goodloe visited the DBU campus to commemorate the release of his new book, The Next Level. The book provides an invitation for individual or group study on how to take a relationship with Scripture, walk with Christ, and worship to the next level. During his visit, Dr. Goodloe presented a lecture to the Patriot Professionals development staff and hosted a book signing event afterward in DBU’s Center for Baptist History and Heritage located at Ford Village. During his talk, Dr. Goodloe spoke about his early ministry at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, which inspired the title of his new book. Before heading back home to California, Dr. Goodloe spoke to the DBU student body in Wednesday morning’s chapel service where he encouraged and challenged students to mimic Christ and be bold in proclaiming the Gospel. In 2011, Dr. Goodloe earned his Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from DBU, and in 2020, he joined DBU’s Institute for Global Engagement as a Senior Fellow for Ethics and Justice. He also serves as an adjunct professor in the Gary Cook School of Leadership and frequently speaks at chapel services and the Veritas Lecture Series. Dr. Travis Dickinson, DBU Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the DBU Philosophy Department, recently produced his fourth book, Wandering Towards God: Finding Faith in Doubts and Big Questions. In the work, he argues that leaning into our questions and doubts can lead to even greater faith as we discover truth and knowledge. Dr. Dickinson joined the DBU Family in 2022, serving as a Professor of Philosophy and heading up the Philosophy Department. He holds degrees from the Wisconsin Campus of Cairn University, Alaska Bible College, and Biola University. He received a Master of Arts in Philosophy along with a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Iowa. Prior to his coming to DBU, he taught at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Dickinson and his wife, Shari, have four children: Kaelia (15), Delaney (13), Emery (11), and Kade (9), and they are active members of Northpointe Church in Burleson, where Dr. Dickinson teaches a life group and occasionally helps with preaching duties.
