Susan Schreiner

Professor of the History of Christianity and Theology in the Divinity School

M.Div. (Harvard University)
Ph.D. (Duke University)

Susan Schreiner’s academic interests are in historical theology with specialization in the era of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. She teaches courses in the history of exegesis, and seminars on Luther and Calvin, Teresa of Avila, Ignatius of Loyola, the relationship between the Renaissance and the Reformation, and the spirituality of the sixteenth century. Her recent publications include studies of Calvin’s view of creation in The Theater of His Glory, and Calvin’s sermons on Job in Where Shall Wisdom Be Found? Calvin’s Exegesis of Job from Medieval and Modern Perspectives. Professor Schreiner has also published numerous articles in the history of exegesis and the problems of deception and certainty in the Reformation period, Luther, Teresa of Avila, and Shakespeare. Her interests in these publications extend from Occam in the fourteenth century to Shakespeare. Her current book, which focuses on Luther, the Protestant Reformers, as well as religious radicalism, Thomas More, Montaigne, and Shakespeare, is entitled, Are You Alone Wise? Debates about Certainty in the Early Modern Era, forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
