He is author of Rendering Unto Caesar: The Catholic Church and the State in Latin America (University of Chicago Press, 1998), which examines the variation of Catholic political strategy during the 1960s and 1970s and its relation to evangelical Protestantism. Research support for this book was provided by the National Science Foundation, and in affiliation with the Department of Economics at the Universidad de Chile and the Centro de Investigación y Acción Social in Buenos Aires. Professor Gill has also published articles in the American Journal of Political Science, Rationality & Society, Politics and Society, Journal of Church and State, the International Journal of Social Economics, and numerous book chapters. Currently, he is studying the causes and consequences of government regulation of religious organizations. He recently organized a conference entitled Religion, Economics and Politics: Exploring the New Paradigm, which brought together national and international scholars using rational choice to examine religious behavior. In addition to studying Latin American politics, his interests relate to methodological and analytical issues surrounding comparative political analysis, including statistics, rational choice and game theory. He teaches courses in political economy, Latin American government, and religion and politics. Professor Gill was the recipient of the University of Washington's Distinguished Teaching Award in 1999.
