Nathaniel Wood

Nathaniel Wood is the Associate Director of the Orthodox Christian Studies Center of Fordham University. He holds a Master of Theological Studies from Emory University's Candler School of Theology and a PhD in systematic theology from Fordham University. As a constructive theologian, he is primarily interested in theologies of personhood and communion, with doctrinal focus on Christology, the Trinity, and deification, especially their implications for political theology and social ethics. His work has drawn on these doctrines to engage with Eastern Orthodox and broader Christian approaches to liberal democracy and human rights. He does constructive theology in conversation with 19^th- and 20^th-century Russian Religious Philosophy (especially the Slavophiles, Vladimir Soloviev, Sergius Bulgakov, and S. L. Frank) and Radical Orthodoxy.

He serves as managing editor and webmaster of Public Orthodoxy and the Journal of Orthodox Christian Studies. He is a Senior Fellow in the "Orthodoxy and Human Rights" research initiative at Fordham University and a research scholar at the Northwestern University Research Initiative for the Study of Russian Philosophy and Religious Thought.
