Career
After receiving his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, Cox joined the faculty of UC San Diego in 1976.[4]
He was an associate editor of Liberty when the magazine began publishing in 1987.[5] He was named as senior editor as of the March 1989 issue.[6] Cox took over as editor-in-chief of the publication following the death of its founder and longtime editor and publisher, R. W. Bradford, in December 2005.[7] In addition to editing duties, he writes articles and commentary for the magazine. This includes his monthly "WordWatch" column, in which he comments on how language and semantics influence culture and political discourse.[8]
Reception
His 2014 book American Christianity: The Continuing Revolution was described by Library Journal as a "fascinating, pleasurable read".[13] In Church History, Barry Hankins called it "provocative" with "some highly insightful observations about the ironies of American Christianity".[14] The book was also reviewed in Choice,[15] Kirkus Reviews,[16] and Touchstone.[17]
Background and personal life
On his website, Cox indicates he is from rural Michigan.[8] He received his BA degree from the University of Michigan.[4]
