Mark A. Lempke

My name is Mark Lempke, and I am a historian of postwar American religion and politics. In particular, I study Progressive Christianity, and the Christian Left that developed in the 1960s and 1970s. I grew up in the Adirondack foothills, attended a small evangelical liberal arts school as an undergrad, and earned my Ph.D from the State University of New York at Buffalo, or simply UB in western New York shorthand. Since then, I have taught at UB's campus in Singapore, with students from across south and southeast Asia. I hope you'll take a look at my recent book, "My Brother's Keeper: George McGovern and Progressive Christianity."
