Writer, Columnist and Podcaster
Eric Scot English is the author of UNenlightenment, a theological and philosophical guide for people who are deconstructing their faith and want to build a belief system that is fully their own.
He writes a column for Patheos Progressive Christian, also called UNenlightenment, and hosts a podcast of the same name, where he interviews leading thinkers in the Christian faith about progressive Christianity and evangelicalism. He has also been a guest on a number of podcasts and radio shows — you can hear those conversations on the media page.
Education
Eric holds a bachelor’s degree in Bible from Cornerstone University and an MA in Philosophy/Theology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. That training in both the evangelical tradition and in philosophy shapes the book: it takes the questions people ask during deconstruction seriously, and answers them from inside the history and theology of the Church rather than from outside it.
Home
Eric lives in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area with his wife Cynthia and their three children.
Work With Eric
Eric is available to speak at events, join podcasts and interviews, and visit book clubs and small groups of more than five people virtually. Groups can start with the free Leader’s Guide.
