Dr. Christian Holland has been teaching, both high school and college level, at various institutions for over 20 years. He earned a Bachelor’s from the Great Books Program at St. John’s College, Annapolis, a second Bachelor’s in Historical Theology from the Gregorian University in Rome, Italy, a Master’s in New Testament Studies from the Biblical Institute in Rome, Italy, and his Doctorate in Comparative Literature from Emory University. His dissertation, entitled “Time for Paul: Lyotard, Agamben, Badiou,” studies the historical and philosophical resurrection of Paul by leading French and Italian thinkers at the end of the twentieth century. After returning to his alma mater as a tutor in Annapolis to teach Great Books, he taught French, as well as electives in History and Philosophy, at a therapeutic boarding school in New England. He has now come full circle with his recent appointment at Anthem Prep. He serves on the staff as a teacher of Humane Letters, currently working with tenth graders on Modern Literature and Political Philosophy and with eleventh graders on Ancient Greek Literature, Plato, Aristotle, and the Hebrew Bible. In his free time, he enjoys classical music, cinema, running, and swimming, following current events mainly from French and European news outlets, reading, writing, and keeping in touch with friends.
