Professor Whitney has been available for a limited number of consultations, conferences and other speaking engagements and teaching in churches and academic groups, offering sound biblical and theological teaching on Christian Studies -- especially, the defense of Christianity against various common criticisms -- with special expertise on God and Suffering. This web site will include publicly accessible manuals from his University courses as well as many more podcasts and various articles and commentaries for downloading.

While teaching has always been Dr Whitney's priority, he has published a dozen Books and Book Chapters, and since 1996 has edited 28 issues of the international academic journal, Process Studies. He has also published 130 Academic Articles and Reviews and 330 more popular and scholarly articles and abstracts in academic journals. He has been active in giving papers, seminars, workshops and public lectures. Some recent examples include the following:
In 2002, he was invited by the Lutheran Bishop of Iceland to present a paper on the Religious Implications of New Age and Postmodernism to the Icelandic clergy in Reykjavik, Iceland.
In 2003, he was invited to debate the New Age guru Deepak Chopra on Canada's Vision TV. He also debated the controversial Bishop Joseph Sprague on Vision TV, and gave an interview on Spirituality for the cover story of Time magazine, Canada.
In 2004, he taught a graduate course on Process Theodicy with John Cobb at The Claremont School of Theology in California.
In 2005, he presented a paper on The Book of Job at a Core Texts and Courses Conference in Vancouver, Canada.
In 2006, he was back in California for Process Studies editorial meetings and then traveled again to Iceland for various theological activities, followed by an international conference on Alfred North Whitehead in Salzburg, Austria. He also presented a paper on The Book of Ecclesiastes at a Core Texts and Courses Conference in Chicago, and organized a Mission for St George's Anglo Catholic Church in Windsor, Ontario. He presented a public lecture on "The Real Jesus" at this Mission, and then gave talks on Apologetics at the New Song Mission Church in Windsor.
Over the years, he has given many interviews on the Problem of Evil for CBC television, radio and for print media, the latter including The New York Times, The Washington Times, Newsday: Long Island, The Chicago Tribune, The Ottawa Citizen, etc.
