Michelle C. Sanchez | Professor of Theology

Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School

Michelle C. Sanchez is Associate Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School, where she teaches courses on the Protestant Reformations, Protestant theologies, and methods for studying religion. Her scholarship focuses on the Christian movements of reform, the legacies of Protestantism, and the complex relationships between theology, politics, and social change, especially in sixteenth-century Europe. Sanchez’s first book, Calvin and the Resignification of the World: Creation, Incarnation, and the Problem of Political Theology (Cambridge University Press, 2019), offers a close reading of Calvin’s Institutes in conversation with contemporary theorists and historical context. She is currently working on her second book project, which examines how Christianity was pedagogically reconfigured as a “worldview” in the twentieth century. Sanchez earned her BA from New College of Florida, an MDiv from Harvard Divinity School, and her PhD in the study of religion from Harvard University.
