Lauren Frances Winner (born 1976) is a historian, author and lecturer. She is Assistant Professor of Christian Spirituality at Duke Divinity School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://divinity.duke.edu/academics/faculty/lauren-winner )〕 Winner writes and lectures on Christian practice, the history of Christianity in America, and Jewish-Christian relations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2012/october/50-women-you-should-know.html )〕 Winner was born to a Jewish father and a Southern Baptist mother, and was raised Jewish.〔http://www.laurenwinner.net/reviews/gmg_bornagain.html〕 She converted to Orthodox Judaism in her freshman year at Columbia University, and then to Christianity while doing her Masters degree at Cambridge University. She completed her doctoral work at Columbia University in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.princeton.edu/~csrelig/opportunities/postdoc_ops.html )〕 Winner's fourth book, ''A Cheerful and Comfortable Faith: Anglican Religious Practice in the Elite Households of Colonial Virginia'' is based on her dissertation. Winner has worked as a book editor of Beliefnet〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laurenwinner.net/bio.html ) Official website.〕 and senior editor of ''Christianity Today''. In 2000 she wrote a column asserting that few young evangelicals took a commitment to premarital chastity seriously. Julia Duin suggests that Winner was a "fairly recent convert" at the time, and "the evangelical response to Winner was livid."〔 Duin goes on to relate that "''Christianity Today'' quickly demoted her to a staff writer spot when people started asking why such a recent convert in her early twenties and still in grad school had managed to attain senior writer status at such a revered publication." Since 2000, Winner's writing and theology has continued to evolve. She completed a Masters of Divinity Degree at Duke University in 2007. She has served as a visiting Fellow at the Center for the Study of Religion at Princeton University〔 and the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale University〔http://www.yale.edu/ism/events/FellowsAnnounce.html〕 and volunteers regularly at the Raleigh Correctional Center for Women.〔http://sojo.net/biography/lauren-f-winner〕 Her memoir, ''Girl Meets God'' has been described as "a passionate and thoroughly engaging account of a continuing spiritual journey within two profoundly different faiths." A second memoir, ''Still: Notes on a Mid-faith Crisis'', released on January 31, 2012,〔Harper Collins Trade Catalog Winter 2012 http://www.harpercollinscatalogs.com/harper/Winter2012-Trade.pdf〕 chronicles her thoughts on God as she descends into doubt and spiritual crisis following the failure of her brief (2003–2009) marriage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.calvin.edu/january/2007/winner.htm )〕 Christianity Today calls ''Still'' "an instant spiritual classic."〔http://www.harpercollins.com.au/books/Still-Lauren-Winner/?isbn=9780061768118〕 Her other books include ''Mudhouse Sabbath'' and ''Real Sex: The Naked Truth about Chastity. Winner was ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia on December 17, 2011.〔http://www.stmatthewshillsborough.org/stmatts/calendar/serviceandeventscalendar/tabid/258/vw/3/itemid/282/d/20111217/default.aspx〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lauren Winner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
