Profesor Gomes je uznávaným odborníkom na ranú americkú náboženskú históriu. Jeho kázania a prednášky rezonujú po celých Spojených štátoch aj Veľkej Británii. Jeho diela sa hlboko zaoberajú vzťahmi medzi cirkvou a štátom, pričom čerpajú z historických súvislostí aj z nedávnej americkej reality. Gomesova literárna tvorba ponúka prenikavý pohľad na vieru a spoločnosť.
