-His research on the religious, moral, and political writings of the Renaissance led to the publication of ''Humanists and Holy Writ: New Testament Scholarship in the Renaissance'' (1983) and ''Politics and culture in Renaissance Naples'' (1987). His more recent research has concentrated on global history and particularly on processes of cross-cultural interaction.
-His book ''Old World Encounters: Cross-Cultural Contacts and Exchanges in Pre-Modern Times'' (1993) studies processes of cultural exchange and religious conversion before modern times, and his pamphlet ''Shapes of World History in Twentieth-Century Scholarship'' (1996) discusses the [[historiography]] of world history.
-His interests included processes of cross-cultural interaction and cultural exchange in modern times.
-In his works, he separates time into the following periods:
-* The early complex societies, 3500 to 500 BCE
-* The formation of classical societies, 500 BCE to 500 CE
-* The postclassical era, 500 to 1000 CE
-* An age of cross-cultural interaction, 1000 to 1500 CE
-* The origins of global interdependence, 1500 to 1800 CE
-* An age of revolution, industry and empire, 1750 to 1914 CE
-* Contemporary global realignments, 1914 to present
