Biography

Ellis was a member of the Catholic Workers Movement in 1974-1975. He wrote an autobiographical book (1997) Unholy alliance: religion and atrocity in our time. He earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in Religion and American Studies at Florida State University, where he studied under Richard Rubenstein and William Miller. In 1980 he received his doctorate in contemporary American Social and Religious Thought from Marquette University.[2] He then became a faculty member at the Maryknoll School of Theology in Maryknoll, New York, and director of the M.A. program at the Maryknoll Institute for Justice and Peace.[1][3] He was made full professor in 1988, and remained at Maryknoll until 1995. He was a Senior Fellow[4] and then visiting scholar at Harvard University's Center for the Study of World Religions and Center for Middle Eastern Studies, as well as a visiting professor at Florida State University. In 1998 he was appointed Professor of American and Jewish Studies at Baylor University, where the next year he was named University Professor of American and Jewish Studies. In 1999 he founded Baylor University's Center for American and Jewish Studies. In 2006, the Center was renamed The Center for Jewish Studies. He is currently University Professor of Jewish Studies and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Baylor University.

His current writings deal with contemporary Judaism, Jewish liberation theology, Jewish-Arab relations, and justice and peace studies.

Ellis was featured in the David Horowitz book The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.[5] As a result, friends often refer to Ellis as "Rabbi Most Dangerous."[6]
