Doug’s doctoral work, at the State University of New York/Buffalo, was in the history of ideas, which he takes as license to read any book with an interesting idea in it. His primary interests are in social and religious history, theology, social theory and psychology. He spends his spare time in conversation with the nearby Klamath Indian and ranching communities. He loves exploring with his students the special problems and opportunities that come with growing up in a conservative Christian church, about which, as a pastor’s son, he has some personal knowledge. He has a deep fascination with Jesus, who he suspects is a much more unsettling, mysterious and radical figure than the churches usually give him credit for.

The author of four books and a much sought-after public speaker, Skinner began his ministry career in the mid-1960s with evangelistic crusades in New York City's Harlem, where he grew up. He had opportunities to speak to and influence countless individuals, groups, and organizations, ranging from members of Congress to the New York Yankees to officials at IBM Corporation. He also served as chaplain for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League. Skinner also worked with poor inner-city youth in Newark, New Jersey, seeking to mature them spiritually while providing technical expertise toward a professional career. Unconcerned about winning popularity contests, Skinner offered a persistent critique of the majority culture, including white evangelicals, challenging his listeners to address issues of racial and social injustice. But those who knew him best agree that he was, first and foremost, an evangelist who sought to introduce unbelievers to Christ and to challenge believers to obedience. Skinner passed in 1994
