Scott MacDougall serves as Associate Professor of Theology at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific (CDSP), a member institution of the Graduate Theological Union (GTU), where he has held faculty status since 2015. His scholarly work centers on systematic theology with specialized focus on ecclesiology and eschatology, examining how theological visions of the future shape Christian communal life both within ecclesial structures and broader societal contexts.
His educational background includes a PhD in systematic theology from Fordham University (2014), an MA in theology from the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church (2007), and a BA from Hofstra University. This academic trajectory reflects his transition from nonprofit sector work to dedicated theological scholarship.
MacDougall's research integrates systematic theology with practical ecclesial concerns, emphasizing that theology constitutes both intellectual discipline and embodied practice. His primary interests include ecclesiological frameworks shaped by eschatological hope, Anglican theological identity, and critical explorations of embodiment and sexuality within Christian traditions. He argues that theological imagination directly informs how communities live out faith commitments in concrete social realities.
Analysis of his 2018-2022 publications reveals consistent engagement with decolonial approaches to Anglican studies, pneumatological foundations for church transformation, and theological anthropology addressing the 'Christian body problem.' His scholarship demonstrates how eschatological perspectives catalyze practical renewal in liturgical practices, communal discernment, and responses to contemporary crises like the pandemic.
Honors include:
- Inaugural Theologian to the House of Deputies of the Episcopal Church
