Nicholas Scott Blakely is a postdoctoral fellow at Fuller Theological Seminary’s Center for Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation where he leads a project to listen to and equip religious leaders in navigating polarization in their communities. He also directs a national initiative, with initial support from the John Templeton Foundation and in partnership with leadership from Wheaton College, convening Evangelical leaders to foster a theological reexamination of Evangelical views on 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 Senior Fellow at the Miller Center for Interreligious Learning and Leadership of Hebrew College, 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, and 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.
