She has published Holocaust curricula and poetry, a chapter on the history of AG race relations in the book We’ve Come This Far: Reflections on the Pentecostal Tradition and Racial Reconciliation and Forgiveness, Reconciliation, and Restoration: Multidisciplinary Studies from a Pentecostal Perspective, and also the official biography of Dr. Stanley M. Horton, Stanley M. Horton: Shaper of Pentecostal Theology. She also teaches courses in Jewish Studies and Theology at Evangel University and AGTS. Lois also serves as Executive Director for the Society for Pentecostal Studies.

"I love fostering a sense of spiritual heritage and ‘response-ability’—through an increased understanding of the Jewish roots of Christian faith, a grasp of church history that appreciates the interrelatedness of Judaism and Christianity, a Hebraic approach to Scripture that accurately communicates the mission of God for world redemption, and a Jewish-friendly presentation of the gospel." — Lois Olena
