Mark Wynn is the Nolloth Professor of the Philosophy of the Christian Religion at the University of Oxford. His academic journey includes a BA and DPhil in Philosophy & Theology from Oxford, followed by roles at King’s College London, the University of Glasgow (as a Gifford Fellow), Australian Catholic University, University of Exeter, and Leeds (2013–2020). His research focuses on philosophical theology, particularly the interplay between religious traditions and spiritual well-being. He leads a Templeton Foundation-funded project exploring how God-concepts inform understandings of spiritual health.
Research interests include the structure of religious traditions, epistemic roles of tradition, and the relationship between God-concepts and human flourishing. He emphasizes religious traditions as 'experiments in human possibilities,' advocating for their retrieval to address contemporary ethical and existential questions. His work integrates philosophical, theological, and empirical methods.
Key publications include Spiritual Traditions and the Virtues (2020), Renewing the Senses (2013), and Emotional Experience and Religious Understanding (2005). Current projects address interdisciplinary perspectives on well-being. He has supervised widely in philosophical theology and philosophy of religion, emphasizing narrative approaches to ethics and embodied epistemology.
