Richard K. Fenn is Princeton Theological Seminary’s Maxwell M. Upson Professor of Christianity and Society. He holds a Th.M. from the Seminary and a Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr Graduate School. An ordained Episcopalian minister and a sociologist of religion and social change, his research and teaching focus on secularization theory, apocalypticism, the nature and meaning of the sacred, and the sociology of time. He is currently working on a study of globalization and the sacred, and on the relationship of religious communities to disasters.
