Ephraim Radner is a priest in the Episcopal Church (Diocese of Colorado) and professor of historical theology at Wycliffe College, an Anglican seminary affiliated with the University of Toronto. His doctorate from Yale University is in theology.
Ephraim grew up in Berkeley, California, and studied music and art history before going to seminary. Following ordination and work in Burundi (East Africa), he served congregations in Brooklyn, Cleveland, New Haven, Stamford, and Pueblo. He has taught at Yale University and Iliff Seminary, and done teaching stints in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Singapore, and Egypt.
He has written and edited several books, including The End of the Church (about how the Holy Spirit works in Church division), Spirit and Nature (about how the Holy Spirit is an intrinsically disputed actor), Hope Among the Fragments (how we live in a divided Church), and a theological commentary on Leviticus. Other books include Time and the Word (on biblical hermeneutics), A Time to Keep (on what it means to be a creature). A new book on modern pneumatology, A Profound Ignorance, will appear in late 2019.
He lives in Toronto with his wife, the Rev. Annette Brownlee. They have two grown children.
