Philip Barlow, Professor of Theological Studies, joined the faculty at
Hanover College in 1990 after two years as a Mellon Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Rochester. He earned a B.A. from Weber State College and an M.T.S. and Th.D. (1988, with an emphasis on Religion and American Culture and on the History of Christianity) from Harvard University. He teaches an introductory course in theology and suffering as well as upper-level courses in Christian history, American religion, and theological explorations of time, silence, and film. Dr. Barlow was the recipient of Hanover's Arthur and Ilene Baynham Award for Outstanding Teaching in 1995 and 2001. In addition to articles, essays, and reviews, Dr. Barlow has published Mormons and the Bible: The Place of the Latter-day Saints in American Religion (Oxford Univ. Press, 1991); the New Historical Atlas of Religion in America (Oxford, 2000, co-authored with Edwin Scott Gaustad); and, as co-editor with Mark Silk, Religion and Public Life in the Midwest: America's Common Denominator? (Alta Mira Press, 2004). He is currently the president of the Mormon History Association.
