Mark Burrows is currently a faculty member at the University of Applied Sciences, Bochum (Germany), having moved to Germany after a career of almost a quarter-century teaching at several graduate theological schools in the US and in Europe. His work spans a range of interests, particular focusing on the abiding “voice” of medieval mysticism. He has published together with co-editor Elizabeth Dreyer, Minding the Spirit: The Study of Christian Spirituality (Johns Hopkins University Press), a ground-breaking volume of essays by key voices shaping this emerging field of study. Other recent publications include Breaking the Silence.  Poetry and the Kenotic Word, co-edited with Jean Ward and Malgoryata Grzegorzewska (Frankfurt a.M., 2015) and the forthcoming Poetic Revelations: Word Made Flesh Made Word, also coedited with Ward and Grzegorzewska (Routledge, 2016).
