Jeff Boldt has a Th.D. from Wycliffe College and serves as a professor of theology at the Alexandria School of Theology, Egypt. Jeff comes from a long line of Mennonites, but was raised in the Alliance Church. He was drawn to Anglicanism after meeting J.I. Packer and, despite a great attraction to Eastern Orthodoxy, he stayed put because of Ephraim Radner. After a career as an animator he moved to Toronto to do doctoral work with Radner. At Wycliffe he met his wife, Jennifer. Together they mostly clean up after their rapidly expanding family. Jeff is particularly interested in patristic and early modern theology, and has contributed to several volumes of Anglican theology, most recently in All Thy Lights Combined: Figural Reading in the Anglican Tradition, ed. David Ney and Ephraim Radner.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there still seems to be an ever widening stream of ex-evangelical converts to Anglicanism, sometimes to the mutual benefit of those involved, but often to the loss of evangelical denominations.
