Mark G. Toulouse’s interest in religious studies came early. He was born in Des Moines, Iowa, Toulouse grew up in the church and, in the Pilgrim Holiness, Independent Bible Church and Baptist circles that his family frequented, the language of a divine call on one’s life was rather routine. At the age of 16, following the family’s move to Dallas, he began to consider ministry as a vocation. He completed his B.A. in Howard University, and received his PhD in Chicago. He has interests in the following research areas; North American religious history, religion and public life in the United States, religion and culture since the 1950s, theological education.
