Bill Isley, a native of Indiana, lives in Topeka and is recently retired from teaching philosophy, history, and biblical studies at Cair Paravel Latin School. He has a Ph.D. in theological and religious studies and has lived and taught in the Caribbean (home of his wonderful wife), Portugal, and Costa Rica.
Last year he published his first novel, The Likeness of Sinful Flesh, which is the story of an ambitious young West Indian woman who longs to escape the confines of her small island and dysfunctional family. However, her own choices lead her into an abusive relationship and causes harm to someone she loves. Feeling guilty and trapped, she questions God’s goodness.
Bill is currently working on a second novel, Chasing the Wind, about the struggles of three unlikely friends as they face the consequences of their own beliefs and values. His fiction and the short essays he writes for his blog focus on philosophical, theological, and cultural issues and their implications for living. When Bill is not writing or working on his YouTube channel, “Thinking Wisely with Dr. Isley,” he enjoys reading literature, history, theology and philosophy, watching movies, conversing with friends, and relishing his wife’s excellent cooking.
