Charles Stang joined the Faculty of Divinity in July 2008. His research and teaching focus on the history and theology of Christianity in late antiquity, especially Eastern varieties of Christianity. His recent research centers on the development of the ascetico-mystical tradition in Eastern Christianity, and focuses on the early sixth-century theologian "Pseudo" Dionysius the Areopagite, who is widely regarded as the fountainhead of negative theology. His dissertation investigates the significance of pseudonymity for the author's mystical theology and theological anthropology. Other interests include ancient philosophy, especially Neoplatonism; the Syriac Christian tradition, especially the East Syrian tradition; religions of the Silk Road; early Islam, especially the history of early Sufism; religions of the late antique Mediterranean; and modern continental philosophy and theology, especially as it intersects with the study of religion.
