Steve Guthrie is Assistant Professor of Theology at Belmont University in Nashville. From 2000 to 2005 Dr. Guthrie was a faculty member of the University of St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland, teaching at the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts. He came to Belmont in 2005 to help launch a new major in Religion and the Arts.

Dr. Guthrie earned an undergraduate degree in Music Theory from the University of Michigan, and for several years played professionally and worked as a minister of music. One night he became disoriented on the way to a gig and stumbled into the world of academic theology. In his spare time, he enjoys weightlifting, watching the NFL Network and eating pizza (thereby vitiating any possible benefit arising from the weightlifting). Above all, he enjoys writing breezy, faintly humorous autobiographical paragraphs; always written in the third person, so that the casual reader will believe that they have been penned by some devoted chronicler of his life and work.

Dr. Guthrie is married to Julie and has four extraordinarily clever and impossibly good looking children. Recent and upcoming publications include:

·         Breath and Dust: The Holy Spirit and Human Artistry. Baker Academic, 2008.

·         Resonant Witness: Essays in Musical Theology, ed. with Jeremy Begbie, Eerdmans, 2008.

·         “Theology and Music” in the Eerdmans-Brill Encyclopedia of Christianity, Vol. 5. Eerdmans, 2007.

·         Faithful Performances: Artistry, embodiment and the enactment of Christian Identity, (ed., with Trevor Hart), Ashgate, 2007.
