Biographical / Historical
Euan Cameron graduated from Eton and then Oxford, obtaining a BA with first class honours in History in 1979, and a D.Phil. in 1982. From 1979 to 1985 he was a junior research fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. In 1985 he began work in the Department of History at Newcastle upon Tyne, where he stayed for 17 years, receiving promotions to Reader (1992) and full Professor (1997) and serving as Head of Department. He was awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship in 1996-7. In 2002 he was appointed as the first Henry Luce III Professor of Reformation Church History at Union Theological Seminary in New York, with a concurrent appointment in the Department of Religion in Columbia University. From 2004 to 2010 he also served as Academic Vice-President in the seminary. During 2010-11, while on sabbatical leave, he held a fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford.
Cameron's work analyses the role and transformations of religion in European society in the later Middle Ages and Reformation periods. His published work includes The Reformation of the Heretics (1984), an analytical history of the Protestant Reformation movements in Europe, The European Reformation (1991), Waldenses: Rejections of Holy Church in Medieval Europe (2000), a personal account of the relationship between history and faith, Interpreting Christian History: The Challenge of the Churches' Past (2005), Enchanted Europe: Superstition, Reason and Religion 1250-1750 (2010), and A Companion to the Waldenses in the Middle Ages (2022) in collaboration with Professor Marina Benedetti of the University of Milan. Cameron has also published numerous articles and chapters, and has served as editor on volumes including the third volume of the New Cambridge History of the Bible for Cambridge University Press (published 2016); The Annotated Luther, Volume 6: The Interpretation of Scripture, published by Fortress Press in 2017 as part of the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation; and two survey volumes on European History in the early modern period (c. 1500-c. 1800), the widely adopted college text Early Modern Europe: An Oxford History (1999) and The Sixteenth Century, in the series Short Oxford History of Europe (2006).
Cameron was ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church of the USA in March 2014, and Priest on September 27th, 2014. Since his ordination as priest he has served in part-time parish ministry within the city of New York, especially at the churches of the Heavenly Rest and St Edward the Martyr, and also in Connecticut.
