Bryce E. RichBryce E. Rich holds a PhD in Theology from the University of Chicago. His specializations include historical theology of the late-antique and medieval periods, queer theory and theologies, and modern religious thought.

His research interests include theological anthropology, twentieth-century theologians of the Russian diaspora, and sacramentology. 

Bryce's first book, Gender Essentialism and Orthodoxy: Beyond Male and Female, is now available.

As a theologian, his desire is to see work in each of these areas enrich the life of the Church. As a scholar in the Chicago tradition, he writes for multiple publics in hopes of fostering understanding and building bridges across society's many divides. As a teacher, he helps his students to explore a variety of theological viewpoints, challenging them to push the limits of their thinking and to find their own theological voices.

Bryce has participated in six conferences on Orthodoxy and sexuality in Finland, Norway, and England.

Wherever he may currently be living, he is undoubtedly caring for a community cat colony.
