Abraham Wu

SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow, University of British Columbia
BA (Simon Fraser University); MDiv (Regent College); PhD (University of Cambridge)

Born and raised in Vancouver, Abraham initially studied economics and worked as a consultant before coming to Regent College as an MDiv student. He later served as a pastor at Tenth Church before starting his doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge (Trinity College) in 2022. 

Abraham's research interests span late antique Latin thought, ancient and contemporary philosophy, theology, and religious ethics. He returned to Vancouver as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Ancient, Mediterranean, and Near Eastern Studies at UBC in the fall of 2025, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). His current book project explores Augustine of Hippo's account of memory and its significance for contemporary ethics and theology. At UBC, he is also starting a new project on conscience, which explores late antique views of conscience as resources for enriching contemporary reflection on conscientious disagreement, public reasoning, and responsible citizenship. 

Abraham's research has been published in a variety of journals, including the International Journal of Systematic Theology and Studies in Christian Ethics. He has also taught theology and philosophy of religion at the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Divinity, as well as courses on theology and science at the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion in Cambridge.
