Profesor Gomes je uznávaným odborníkem na ranou americkou náboženskou historii. Jeho kázání a přednášky rezonují po celých Spojených státech i Velké Británii. Jeho práce se hluboce zabývá vztahy mezi církví a státem, čerpajíc z historických souvislostí i z nedávné americké reality. Gomesova literární tvorba nabízí pronikavý pohled na víru a společnost.
