Curriculum Vitae

Professor DeHart's research interests center on the methods and intellectual engagements of Christian theology, especially its trajectories from the Reformation through the Enlightenment, the nineteenth century, and the contemporary period. He also has special interests in Biblical interpretation in theology, and in the conceptual problems attendant upon the doctrine of God, divine action in the world, and the Trinity. His latest book is Beyond the Necessary God: Trinitarian Faith and Philosophy in the Thought of Eberhard Jüngel (Oxford/AAR, 1999). He is currently completing a manuscript tentatively entitled "The Yale School: A Study in the Origin and Future of Postliberal Theology". Professor DeHart teaches in the areas of systematic theology and historical theology, including courses on Luther, Calvin, Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, Postliberalism, Recent Trinitarian Thought, God in the Western Tradition, and surveys of Nineteenth Century Theology and Twentieth Century Theology.
