He has published two dozen law-review articles on various issues in criminal justice, along with two casebooks. He is currently at work on a book to be titled Defining Crime, as well as a collection of essays on racial profiling. Bill has also written several articles on law and Christian thought for First Things, including "Law and the Christian Story" and "Pride and Pessimism in the Courts." Together with David Skeel, a professor at the University of Pennsyvlania Law School, Bill plans to write a book about Christianity and legal theory, with a focus on where the Christian Right went wrong. He has been a frequent speaker to Christian student groups at the University of Virginia and at Harvard.
