Paul Gutacker is a historian in Waco, Texas. He received his Ph.D. in history from Baylor University and a M.A. in Theological Studies and the Th.M. in History of Christianity from Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. His research focuses on the ways which American Protestants have remembered, studied, and argued over Christian history. Paul, his wife, Paige, and their four children enjoy living in Waco, where since 2018 they have shared life with the Brazos Fellows, a community that studies, prays, eats, and discerns together. When he’s not teaching, he loves sharing in favorite pastimes with his kids: cooking, fishing, reading, and rooting for the Buffalo Bills.
