Amy
Brown Hughes is an Associate Professor of Theology at Gordon College. She
received her PhD in historical theology with an emphasis in early Christianity
from Wheaton College and is the author (with Lynn H. Cohick) of Christian
Women in the Patristic World: Their Influence, Authority, and Legacy in the
Second Through Fifth Centuries (Baker Academic, 2017). The overarching
theme of Amy’s work as a historical theologian is that early Christian writers
are fruitful dialogue partners in modern discussions of theology. Her research
interests include Eastern Christianity, trinitarian and christological thought,
Christian asceticism, theological anthropology, and the contributions of
minority voices—especially those of women—to theology. Amy is also a co-host for
the theology stream of the biblical studies and theology podcast OnScript.
