He was elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2006.David C. Steinmetz (born on June 12, 1936 in Columbus, Ohio) is an American historian of late medieval and early modern Christianity.[1] He received his BA in English from Wheaton College in Illinois (1958), his BD from Drew University (1961), and his ThD from Harvard University (1967). In 1961 he was ordained an elder in the Methodist Church. Before coming to Duke University, where he spent most of his academic career, he taught for five years (1966-1971) at Lancaster Theological Seminary. He later served as a Visiting Professor at Harvard (1977), Notre Dame (1993, 1997, 2005, 2008), and Emory (2010) universities.In 1959 Steinmetz married Virginia Ruth Verploegh, an English teacher from Chicago whom he met at Wheaton Virginia earned her MA in English at Temple University and her PhD at Duke University.
