Research Profile

Gregory's primary teaching and research interests concern the history of Christianity in late medieval and early modern Europe, including Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and radical Protestantism, and the long-term effects of the Reformation era on subsequent Western history. Gregory's first book, Salvation at Stake: Christian Martyrdom in Early Modern Europe, was published by Harvard University Press in 1999 and received six book awards. Gregory has also published a critical edition of sixteenth-century Dutch Mennonite martyrs' prison writings, entitled The Forgotten Writings of the Mennonite Martyrs (Leiden: E.J. Brill, 2002). In 2005 he was the inaugural winner of the Hiett Prize in the Humanities from the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, a $50,000 award given to the outstanding mid-career humanities scholar in the United States.  He is currently writing a study of the long-term influences of the Reformation on Western history for Harvard University Press.
