Welcome to my website! I am an early modern historian who earned his PhD from the University of Leicester (UK). After graduation I worked on the “Remembering the Reformation” project at the University of Cambridge and the “Wilberforce Diaries Project” at the University of Leicester. In 2021, I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

I specialize in the relationship between theology and warfare, and my work also focuses on identity, race, slavery, law and how the past is remembered. I currently teach religion, conflict and peacebuilding at Quinnipiac University (USA) and early modern history at Fairfield University (USA).

I am the the author or editor of three books, including God, Religious Extremism and Violence (Cambridge, forthcoming) and have edited several journal collections related to religion, politics and conflict. My writings have appeared in outlets like the Journal of Religion and Violence, The Review of Faith and International Affairs, The Conversation and The Washington Post.

Works-in-progress include a two-volume Global Sourcebook in Protestant Political Thought, 1517–1914 (Routledge) and Godly Violence in the Puritan Atlantic World (Boydell & Brewer). Additionally, I am writing an article on ‘Joshua and Colonialism in Early Modern History’, for the Formation and Interpretation of Old Testament Literature (Brill, forthcoming).
