Lisa Clark Diller is a historian  who teaches at Southern Adventist University in Chattanooga, Tennessee. 
She researches and writes on religious minorities and the development of modern democracy. In addition to seventeenth century religion and politics, she enjoys service/activism in her urban neighborhood and ministry in the local church community she and her husband Tommy helped start in 2008.  Her academic credentials enable her to talk about history and politics–but her passion is learning how to be part of the kingdom of God, and she loves the friendships and adventures that come with discipleship. She recently returned from a year-long teaching exchange at Avondale College in Australia.
