Alec Ryrie

Alec Ryrie is Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University, former Professor of Divinity at Gresham College, London, and a Fellow of the British Academy. He is particularly interested in the Reformation era, the long history of the Protestant tradition and the puzzling place of Christianity in our so-called secular age. His current projects include researching the many-sided role of the Churches in the British Empire; how secular ideas of the worth of humans have developed from Darwin to the age of AI; and trying to compress the whole story of Christianity’s history into one short, readable book.
