The Rev. Dr. Andrew McGowan has been Dean of Berkeley Divinity School and McFaddin Professor of Anglican Studies at Yale since 2014. His scholarship focuses on ancient Christianity and especially the Eucharist, food and meals, and sacrifice, and on aspects of contemporary Anglicanism. His books include Ancient Christian Worship (Baker Academic, 2014) and Seven Last Words: Cross and Creation (Cascade, 2021), the latter based on Good Friday sermons given at S. Thomas in 2017. He was formerly editor of the Journal of Anglican Studies.
