Dr Michael Wagenman

Michael Wagenman is Senior Research Fellow and Director of PhD Studies at the Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology in Cambridge. He completed his PhD at the University of Bristol on the nature of ecclesial power in the cultural theology of Abraham Kuyper. He studies and writes on a range of issues related to church and secular society, faith and cultural diversity, the use and abuse of Scripture (NT), and the 1960s counterculture. He has taught at Christian and public universities in Canada and is a mentor to a global community of graduate students and professionals. He is the author, most recently, of The Power of the Church: The Sacramental Ecclesiology of Abraham Kuyper (2020).
