After studying Arabic, the Millers moved to Nazareth of Galilee,

the history of Protestant missions in Ottoman Palestine,
and contemporary evangelicalism in the Middle East.

He is author of "Two Stories of Everything: The Competing Metanarratives of Islam and Christianity" (Whitchurch Publishing, 2016),
which seeks to understand the two faiths not as alternative religions,
but as accounts of the entirety of history, from Creation to the final judgment.

He and his wife, Sharon, married in 2003, have three children.
