Dr. Woodiwiss is concerned professionally with the engagement between political science, politics and policy, as well as between his Christian theological commitments and academic political science and the practical world of politics. Since arriving at Wheaton College in 1989 Dr Woodiwiss and his family have worshipped at a local church in Glen Ellyn, IL.

Dr. Woodiwiss is presently working on two separate volumes. One, Neither Babylon nor Jerusalem, is a collection of his previously published work centering around the theme that Christian political theory, at least in the U.S., must divest itself of Niebuhrian ("Christ and Culture") self-understandings and accept for its starting point the present post-Christendom context in which the Christian narrative neither rules nor is powerless. The other, Political Theory after Liberalism, is a reader that sets out the breadth of theoretical alternatives that has developed in Anglo-American political theory following the eclipse of Rawlsian liberalism.
