    Jonathan Yates is currently the Rocco & Gloria Barbieri fellow at Villanova University and a member of the faculty of the Villanova Center for Liberal Education (VCLE). Jonathan came to Villanova in the Fall of 2005, after completing his dissertation in Historical Theology at the University of Louvain in Belgium.

     While Jonathan’s interests include many aspects of the western intellectual tradition, his core concerns are theology, the phenomenon of religious experience, and the intersection of religion and culture. His 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" (ACS) for the VCLE, and has developed and taught both graduate and undergraduate courses in Villanova’s department of Theology and Religious Studies, including courses on Augustine and Early Christianity, and in Villanova's Graduate Liberal Studies Program.

      Originally from a small town in Georgia, since late 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 native of Asheville, North Carolina. Much to Jonathan’s chagrin, Bess prefers soccer to baseball and, even when in baseball mode, cheers as hard for the Red Sox as she does for the Braves …
