个人简介
王以洁是教会历史学家，专攻近现代英国与北美的宗教政治史，以研究17世纪清教徒对政教体制的顺从、教会治理的理论与实践，与圣公会的关系为题，取得牛津大学博士学位。
她的研究兴趣在于17世纪欧陆与北美的新教传统，尤其专注于宗教与政治上的「越界」(boundary-crossing)。她即将出版的书籍章节《爱德华·雷诺斯，一个长老制主教的诞生》 ‘Edward Reynolds and the Shaping of a Presbyterian Bishop’ (曼彻斯特大学出版社Manchester University Press) 剖析一名从完全顺从体制转而成为一名清教徒的传道人，如何不停地转换政治立场来度过英格兰内战及战后余波，并分析这样看似投机主义的态度如何显露出其更深层、更具一致性的教牧关怀。王以洁对「越界」的兴趣也延伸到清教徒研究的其他领域，包括清教徒如何以「护理」神学概念和语言来诈欺、装假，掩盖或合理化其伪善或欺骗的行为。
