Jonathan Yates is an Assistant Professor of Historical Theology at
Villanova University. He also serves as Editor of the academic journal
Augustinian Studies. Jonathan came to Villanova in the Fall of
2005, after completing his dissertation in Historical Theology at the
University of Louvain (KUL).
Jonathan’s area of expertise is
Ancient Christianity, particularly Early Latin Christianity and
the life, thought, and impact of Augustine of Hippo. At
Villanova he regularly teaches the "Augustine and Culture
Seminar" (for the ACSP) and
both graduate and undergraduate courses in Villanova’s
department of Theology and Religious Studies, including courses
on Augustine, Early Christianity, and the history of biblical
interpretation. Along with Dr. Chris Barnett, Jonathan is currently
developing a course that will focus on depictions of belief and unbelief
in contemporary cinema.
Originally from a small town in Georgia, since 1993 Jonathan has
lived, studied, and taught in Texas, Belgium, and Pennsylvania. Sports,
and particularly baseball, have always been a part of his life. In fact,
Jonathan has been an Atlanta Braves fan for as long as he can
remember--well before their fabled streak of 14 straight division
championships (1991-2005). He is married to Bess Wellborn, a fellow
Southerner.
