Biography

Dr. Zach McCulley is an early modernist who joins UWF after having most recently held a dual appointment as a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor in Religious Studies and History at the College of William and Mary. He earned his B.S. from Cornell University, M.Div. from Southern Seminary, and his Ph.D. from Queen's University Belfast.

Prior to William and Mary, McCulley taught at Fairfield University and conducted research at Yale Divinity School and then the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University in the Department of History as a Visiting Assistant in Research.

His work broadly focuses on the social networks and political radicalism of religious dissenters in later 17th century England, the transatlantic reception history of Christian literature, and early conceptions of toleration in Colonial America.

He has a particular interest in the habits of note-taking, journaling, and collecting of religious and political manuscripts in the 17th century. His current book project examines post-Restoration Protestant political radicalism, and he is the co-editor of The Sermons of John Owen: Notes from the Congregation, forthcoming with Oxford University Press.
