Mark H. Mann, MDiv, PhD

Professor of Theology and Director of the Honors Scholars Program at Point Loma Nazarene University

Mark’s recent research has focused on teaching and learning, including developing and testing the efficacy of integrating traditional Wesleyan ‘means of grace' into a wide variety of disciplinary classroom settings for enhancing student intellectual engagement and spiritual formation in the Christian college setting. He is currently a principle investigator with a team of scientists developing curricula for reconciling religious faith and evolutionary science in both religious and secular higher and secondary educational settings, exploring the impact of these curricula on student religiosity.

Mark holds a Ph.D. in Religious and Theological Studies from Boston University, is author of Perfecting Grace: Holiness and the Human Sciences (Continuum, 2006), and co-editor of Nurturing the Prophetic Imagination (Wipf & Stock, 2012) and Reconsidering Arminius: Beyond the Reformed/Wesleyan Divide (Kingswood, 2014). He is an ordained minister in the Church of the Nazarene and currently resides in San Diego, CA, with his wife, Melissa, and their four children, Naomi, Nathaniel, Madeleine and Norah.
