Born and raised in California, Craig Harline earned a Ph.D. in European History from Rutgers University (1986), where he was a Special Graduate School Fellow. Since 1992 he has been a professor of History at Brigham Young University, teaching courses on the Reformation, the History of Civilization, History on Film, and such seminars as “Miracles” and “Toleration and Persecution.” In 1996 and 2001 he was also visiting professor and research fellow at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium, and then the University of Antwerp in 2006. His research focuses on the religious history of Europe since the Middle Ages, which he has pursued in archives of Belgium, the Netherlands, France, England, and Sweden, thanks to grants and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Philosophical Society, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Catholic University of Louvain, the University of Antwerp, and other agencies. His publications have been reviewed in mainstream and academic media alike. A Bishop’s Tale (Yale University Press), co-authored with the Belgian scholar Eddy Put, was named an Editor's Choice Book in Religion on Amazon.com, and was the runner-up for the Bainton Prize, sponsored by the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference. Miracles at the Jesus Oak (Doubleday) was named a “Top Ten Book in Religion” by Booklist for 2003. A paperback version of The Burdens of Sister Margaret: Inside a Seventeenth-Century Convent was one of Yale University Press’s first Note Bene books. He has been interviewed about his work on numerous radio and television programs, and for various newspapers, in the US, Belgium, and The Netherlands. His current book-project treats the impact of religious conversion upon religiously mixed families after the Reformation.
