Sarah Coakley taught at Lancaster and Oxford Universities before coming to Harvard Divinity School in 1993. She
was the Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr., Professor of
Divinity from 1995 until October 2007, when she became the Norris-Hulse
Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University. She remains at Harvard for
the 2007-08 academic year, as a visiting professor. A systematic theologian and philosopher of religion,
she has wide interdisciplinary interests, as reflected in her research and
teaching. Her most recent books are
Powers and Submissions: Spirituality, Philosophy and Gender (2002) and
Re-Thinking Gregory of Nyssa (ed., 2003). Her co-edited volume,
Pain and Its Transformations: The Interface of Biology and Culture, a product of her work in the interdisciplinary
"Mind, Brain, Behavior" group at Harvard, will appear in fall 2007; and she is at work on a four-volume systematic theology, the first volume of which will appear as
God, Sexuality and the Self: An Essay 'On the Trinity' (forthcoming). Previous works include
Christ Without Absolutes: A Study of the Christology of Ernst Troeltsch, and an edited volume on comparative religion,
Religion and the Body. She co-chaired (in 2004) a Templeton Foundation symposium on spiritual healing, from which an edited volume is being
completed; and she is a recent recipient of a Templeton award for her course
"Medicine and Religion" (co-taught with Arthur Kleinman at Harvard Medical School). From 2005 to 2008 she
is co-directing (with Martin Nowak, Center of Evolutionary Dynamics) a new $2 million research project
("The Theology of Cooperation") on theology, evolutionary biology, and game theory, also funded by the Templeton Foundation. Professor Coakley is an ordained priest of the Church of England, and assists in parishes in Waban, Massachusetts, and in Littlemore, Oxford,
England.
