Scott A. Bessenecker

Scott A. Bessenecker has spent his entire adult life working in one Christian organization and attending one local church community--plenty of time, he says, to be both a victim of and participant in the sins of the church. Bessenecker serves as the director of global engagement and justice for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, an interdenominational campus ministry. He is the author of The New Friars, How to Inherit the Earth, and Overturning Tables. He and his wife Janine live in Madison, Wisconsin, and have three adult children.
