Christopher Kennedy Huebner[1] (born 1969)[2] is an associate professor of theology and philosophy at Canadian Mennonite University,[3] as well as co-editor of Herald Press's Polyglossia series.[4]

Huebner was born and raised in Winnipeg.[3] He received a Bachelor of Theology degree from Canadian Mennonite Bible College in 1992, as well as Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in philosophy from the University of Manitoba in 1992 and 1995 respectively.[3] He received a Doctor of Philosophy degree in theology and ethics from Duke University in 2002[3] with the dissertation Unhandling History: Anti-Theory, Ethics, and the Practice of Witness.[5] Prior to teaching at CMU, he was a part-time instructor in philosophy at the University of Manitoba;[citation needed] an instructor in religion and philosophy[citation needed] at Meredith College; and an instructor in the university writing program[citation needed] at Duke University.[3] Huebner's writing is primarily in the area of philosophical theology and can be located at the intersection of politics and epistemology,[citation needed] with a special interest in questions of peace and violence.[6]

Selected bibliography

[edit]

Anyone who reads Huebner's reflections and analysis of the habits that shape our lives—and in particular, how those habits threaten to erode the significance of memory for those who have lost the ability to remember—will be stricken by the gentle wisdom that informs his description of those whom he knows he must remember.
