Dr. David J. Goa has curated the U Encounter Online Exhibition and Anno Domini: Jesus Through the Centuries, a public exhibit and book in collaboration with Jaroslov Pelikan. He was the founding director of the Chester Ronning Centre for the Study of Religion and Public Life, at the University of Alberta (Augustana Campus), the first such centre at a Canadian public university. Over three decades, he developed the program for the study of culture at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton. His most recent book is The Christian Responsibility to Muslims (2015).
