Crawford Gribben

Queen's University Belfast

Crawford Gribben's research contributes significantly to our understanding of the intersections between literature and theology in early modern Britain. Through studies on John Owen's works, such as his treatises on Milton and his congregation, Gribben sheds light on the theological debates and literary contexts of Cromwellian Ireland and England during the 17th century. Additionally, their analysis of Jonathan Edwards' influence on Andrew Fuller's theology highlights the transatlantic exchange of ideas in the Reformed tradition. Furthermore, research on Owen's life writing, evangelical millennialism, and biblical interpretation reveals Gribben's commitment to understanding the complex relationships between piety, politics, and literature in shaping the course of Western intellectual history.
