January Visiting Scholar: Dr. Mark Burrows

Mark Burrows joined the faculty of Andover Newton Theological in 1993, where he is currently
Professor of the History of Christianity and director of the program in worship, theology, and
the arts. Author and editor of numerous books and more than fifty articles, poet, and regular
essayist for Weavings, Burrows’ writings explore a range of topics related to medieval
mysticism, aesthetics, poetics, and contemporary culture.
He is a recent Henry Luce III Fellow in Theology (2007 – 2008), a year-long sabbatical
grant that enabled him to complete work on a book entitled Untamed Wisdom:
Mysticism and Poetry in Search of God. Burrows serves on the governing board of
the Society for the Arts in Theological and Religious Studies and on the boards of
various journals and professional societies. In the spring of 2009, he cofounded an
emergent worship gathering in Open Spirit www.comeopenspirit.org.
Open Spirit is intended to serve people with a spiritual hungering who may not feel that
traditional church meets their needs, and people who may attend church regularly
but are drawn to creative spiritual expression.
