Bruce Guenther
Professor of Church History and Mennonite Studies
Much of Bruce’s scholarly expertise has to do with aspects of Canadian history, culture, and Christianity. As a professor, he is passionate about helping students to think critically about their faith experience without becoming cynical, to historicize their church tradition without discrediting it, and to recognize the symbiotic relationships between cultural forces, human actions, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church.
