John G. Stackhouse Jr.

John Gordon Stackhouse Jr. (born 1960) is a Canadian scholar of religion.

Stackhouse was born in 1960 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and raised in southwestern England and northern Ontario, the eldest of four children. His father, John G. Stackhouse, was a general surgeon. His mother, A. Yvonne (Annan) Stackhouse, was a schoolteacher and later university instructor.

Stackhouse received his higher education in Canada and the United States. After a year at Mount Carmel Bible School in Edmonton, he graduated from Queen's University at Kingston with a B.A. in history with first class honours in 1980. He then earned M.A. with highest honors in church history and theology from Wheaton College in 1982 and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1987 under Martin E. Marty. His doctoral dissertation was titled, "Proclaiming the Word: Canadian Evangelicalism since World War I".^[1]

Stackhouse began teaching at the International Teams School of World Missions and then Wheaton College, both in suburban Chicago, during his doctoral studies. His first full-time position was as an assistant professor of European history at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa (1987–90).^[2] From there, he went to teach Modern Christianity (history, sociology, philosophy, and theology) in the Department of Religion at the University of Manitoba, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, rising to the rank of professor in 1997. One year later, he left for Regent College in Vancouver (1998–2015), where he served as the Sangwoo Youtong Chee Professor of Theology and Culture at Regent College, in the position formerly held by J. I. Packer.

In 2015, Stackhouse headed east to become the inaugural Samuel J. Mikolaski Professor of Religious Studies at Crandall University and that university's first Dean of Faculty Development.^[3] In 2018 he received that university's Stephen and Ella Steeves Award for Excellence in Research.^[4]
