Download Full CV:

Andrew M. Davis is a philosopher, theologian and scholar of world religions. A native of northern California, he was born and raised among the towering redwoods of Occidental and the meandering woodlands of Santa Rosa’s Bennett Valley. It was out these natural settings that his passion for the questions of philosophy, theology and religion first emerged. He holds B.A. in Philosophy and Theology, an M.A. in Interreligious Studies, and a Ph.D. in Religion and Process Philosophy from Claremont School of Theology. An educator and advocate of cross-cultural knowledge and religious literacy, his studies have led him to a variety of religious contexts and communities around the world, including India, Israel-Palestine, and Europe. He received the 2013 Award for Excellence in Biblical Studies and the 2017 fellowship with FASPE (Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics). He is a poet, aphorist and author or editor of three books including How I Found God in Everyone and Everywhere: An Anthology of Spiritual Memoirs (2018, with Philip Clayton); Propositions in the Making: Experiments in a Whiteheadian Laboratory (2019, with Roland Faber and Michael Halewood); and Depths as Yet Unspoken: Whiteheadian Excursions in Mysticism, Multiplicity, and Divinity (forthcoming, 2020, with Roland Faber).
