Jake Griesel

I am a South African historian of Christian theology living in Cape Town, where I serve at George Whitefield College as Senior Lecturer in Church History and Anglican Studies. I hold a PhD in historical theology from the University of Cambridge (2019) and am a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. My academic interests are in early modern Christianity, with specialisation in the theology and history of the Church of England across its ‘long’ reformation, and more broadly the rise and development of the Reformed Protestant tradition up to the early Enlightenment. I am the author of ‘Retaining the Old Episcopal Divinity: John Edwards of Cambridge and Reformed Orthodoxy in the later Stuart Church’ (Oxford University Press, 2022) and the co-editor of ‘Reformed identity and conformity in England, 1559–1714’ (Manchester University Press, 2024). I am currently working on a monograph on the theology of John Pearson (1613–86).
