David Marshall

After studying theology at Oxford University David Marshall gained a doctorate in Islamic studies at Birmingham University. He has since worked in a variety of contexts, including as Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury from 2000 to 2005, where he had responsibility for interfaith relations. In 2002 he helped launch the Building Bridges Seminar, one of the world’s leading projects in theological dialogue between Muslim and Christian scholars, and has been involved in this project ever since. Since 2012, Building Bridges has been directed from Georgetown University, where Marshall is a research fellow at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs. Much of his work has been in the field of theological education. He has taught at St Paul’s University (Limuru, Kenya), Edinburgh University, Duke Divinity School, and Georgetown University.

From 2018-2021 he served as programme executive in interreligious dialogue and co-operation at the World Council of Churches in Geneva, with particular responsibility for Christian-Jewish and Christian-Muslim relations.

Currently, he teaches at the Institut für Christkatholische Theologie, Theology Faculty, University of Bern, Switzerland; and he is guest editor of the journal Islamochristiana (PISAI, Rome).
