Research areas

Dr Caleb Froehlich is Director of the online Bible and Contemporary World programme and Associate Lecturer in Theology and the Arts at the University of St Andrews. He specialises in theology and the arts with a focus on the intersections between religion, art, and culture from the 20th century to the present, especially as this relates to culturally engaged theology, biblical/theological reception, and religious experience. His forthcoming book, Redefining Religious Experience in the Long Sixties (Routledge), explores the continuing influence of religion on the meaning-making engagements of ‘seeking’ American youths with seminal works of popular art (in architecture/painting, film, literature, and music) during the Sixties era. 

He received his PhD in Religion, Art, and Culture as well as a Master of Letters in Theology, Imagination, and the Arts from the University of St Andrews. He also holds a Master’s in Theology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Before returning to St Andrews, he investigated audience experiences with sacred art at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as a Postdoctoral Researcher on the Templeton-funded ‘Art and the Sacred’ project and was the IASH-CTPI Duncan Forrester Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
