Nicholas Scott Blakely is Senior Research Fellow in the Center for Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation and the School of Mission and Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary. He leads curriculum development and scholarly research for the Certificate for Peacebuilding and contributes to consortium strategy, convening, and collaborative implementation for the Lilly Pathways FORWARD Consortium, a multi-institutional initiative focused on digital-forward theological education and institutional capacity building across diverse evangelical institutions.

He also serves as Project Director of the Theologies of Jews and Judaism for Evangelicals Initiative at Fuller’s School of Mission and Theology. With initial support from the John Templeton Foundation and developed in partnership with Wheaton College leadership, the initiative convenes Evangelical scholars and leaders to foster long-term examination of Evangelical theologies of Jews and Judaism.

His work focuses on interreligious relations—especially Christian-Jewish engagement—as well as Islamophobia, antisemitism, ecology and religion, and the relationship between religious conviction and public life. He is a co-convener of two national Evangelical-Jewish dialogues and teaches theology as an Affiliate Assistant Professor at Fuller.

Nick earned his PhD in Theology and Ethics from Fuller Theological Seminary, where he worked with Richard Mouw and Tommy Givens. He also holds an MA from Princeton Theological Seminary and a BA from Azusa Pacific University. He lives in Seattle with his wife, Ellen, and their daughter, Denny.
