About the author
Born in 1965, Sam Wells is an English priest in the Church of England, theologian, and author. He has served as vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields in London since 2012, and he is also known for his work in Christian ethics and public theology.
Before moving to St Martin-in-the-Fields, he served as dean of Duke University Chapel and as a research professor of Christian ethics at Duke Divinity School in North Carolina. Across his books, sermons, and essays, he often returns to themes of companionship, moral life, ministry, and the shape of Christian community.
Readers often come to his work for thoughtful writing that is intellectually grounded but still accessible. Whether he is writing about ethics, worship, or the life of the church, his focus is usually less on abstract argument alone and more on how people learn to be present with one another.
