David P. Gushee

For more than thirty years, David P. Gushee has been one of the most influential and widely read Christian ethicists in the world. Gushee brings sustained reflection on scripture, ethics, the church, and public life, writing as a Christian ethicist from a post-evangelical perspective.

His landmark books—spanning foundational ethics, political theology, trauma, human rights, and full LGBTQ+ inclusion—have guided both scholars and everyday believers seeking a moral life rooted in justice and compassion.

A past president of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Christian Ethics, Gushee is Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University and Chair in Christian Social Ethics at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. His work has been translated globally and continues to shape conversations about Christian faith and moral responsibility in a rapidly changing world.
