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, critical theories of modernity, and theories and methods on the study of religion. Her first book, Calvin and the Resignification of the World (Cambridge University Press, 2019) performs a close reading of Calvin’s 1559 Institutio in conversation with theories of embodiment, practice, political theology, and secularization. She is drafting her second book, tentatively titled “Thinking God’s Thoughts”: Power, Imagination, and the Invention of Worldview Christianity, which will examine the theological adaptation of “worldview” by late nineteenth-century Neo-Calvinists, with an eye to its anthropological, cultural, and political impact.
