Professor Sarah C. Williams is a Research Professor in the History of Christianity at Regent College Vancouver, a Research Associate at St Benet’s Hall Oxford, and one of the world’s leading experts on the history of Christianity. She holds a D.Phil. in history from the University of Oxford, where she also taught as part of the modern history faculty for 7 years. Her research focuses on British religious and cultural history. She is the author of “Religious Belief and Popular Culture” (Oxford University Press) and “Perfectly Human”(winner of a Christianity Today 2019 Book Award), and co-author of “Redefining Christian Britain”. Her forthcoming book traces the relationship between Christianity and perceptions of gender and sexuality through time. Sarah is a passionate and gifted teacher, writer, and communicator, known for bringing history to life in a way that speaks to our contemporary context. Sarah teaches all over the world helping the Church recover its memory, and we were delighted that she taught a two-part masterclass at STCPE 2020 on Prayer as Political Resistance: The Radical Theology of First Wave Feminism.
