R. Marie Griffith joined the Faculty of Divinity in July 2009.
She was Professor of Religion at Princeton University, where she also served as director
of the university's Program in the Study of Women and Gender. She received her doctorate
from Harvard's Committee on the Study of Religion. Her first book, God's
Daughters: Evangelical Women and the Power of Submission (University of California Press, 1997)
established her as a pioneer in the study of modern evangelical women. A prolific author,
her articles have appeared in, among other places, The Chronicle of Higher Education,
American Quarterly, and Harvard Divinity Bulletin. She was a Research Associate at Harvard
Divinity School's Women's Studies in Religion Program in 2002-03, when she worked on Born
Again Bodies: Flesh and Spirit in American Christianity (University of California Press, 2004),
which explores the religious underpinnings of the ideologies of the body that play a central
role in American consumer culture. Her latest book project will examine sexuality debates in
twentieth-century U.S. Christianity.
