Timothy J. Furry is Instructor of Religion and Philosophy and Chaplain at Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School in Bloomfield Hills, MI. Furry is currently working on a monograph in philosophy of history and historiography, more specifically getting clear on our concepts of the past and history through Wittgenstein and Ordinary Language Philosophy. However, his research interests are ultimately theological and span across patristic and medieval theology and biblical exegesis, contemporary theology and philosophy, and 20th century historical theory. His work’s overarching purposes are aimed at making ancient forms of Christian biblical exegesis persuasive in our contemporary intellectual milieu.Along with articles, book chapters, and reviews, he has most recently published Allegorizing History: The Venerable Bede, Figural Exegesis, and Historical Theory and is the co-editor of Ecclesiology and Exclusion: Boundaries of Being and Belonging in Postmodern Time. His next monograph, a figuralist critique of contemporary theological exegesis, is under contract to appear in the Veritas series with Cascade Books. Furry has been happily married for over 10 years; he and his wife, Corrie, have three young sons: Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thaddeus. He is also an avid fan of rap music.
