Shailer Mathews

Shailer Mathews (May 26, 1863 – October 23, 1941) was a liberal Christian theologian, involved with the Social Gospel movement.

Born in Portland, Maine, Mathews was progressive in his day, advocating social concerns as part of the Gospel message, and subjecting Biblical texts to scientific study, in opposition to contemporary conservative Christians. He incorporated evolutionary theory into his religious views, stating that the two were not mutually exclusive.

A prolific author, Mathews also served as dean of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. An endowed chair in his honor, the Shailer Mathews Professorship of Religious Ethics, is currently held by Franklin I. Gamwell.
