Dr. Lewis Ayres, Associate Professor of Historical Theology
Dr. Ayres' research focuses on Augustine and on Greek and Latin Trinitarian theology, Christology, and pneumatology in the fourth and fifth centuries. His next book will be a study of pro-Nicene theologies of the Spirit between 350 and 400. He also studies the development of exegesis between 100 and 500, modern Trinitarian theology (especially its engagement with Patristic thought), modern reception of Augustine.
Ayres is coeditor of the Blackwells series Challenges in Contemporary Theology. He also serves on the editorial boards of the "Journal of Early Christian Studies" and "Modern Theology." During 2007-2008 he is on sabbatical as a Henry Luce III Fellow in Theology.
