Gullotta is a historian of American religious history, with a particular focus on Christianity in Early America. He has held teaching and research appointments at Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford; the Declaration of Independence Center at the University of Mississippi; and the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University. Passionate about teaching, he is committed to helping students explore the richness and complexity of religion in American civic life, cultivate religious literacy, and think critically about the role of religion in the public square and the challenges posed by religious pluralism.
Gullotta earned his Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Stanford University and his M.A.R. in the History of Christianity from Yale Divinity School.
His first book, under contract with Yale University Press, examines the role of religious politics in the rise of Andrew Jackson and the formation of the Democratic Party. He is currently at work on his second book, which explores the history of witch-hunting, magic, and Satanic panics in America.
