Bruce Lincoln, Caroline E. Haskell Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions in the Divinity School at the University of Chicago, is among the foremost scholars of religion and myth today. His research tends to focus on pre-Christian Europe and pre-Islamic Iran, but he also published in wide range of topics, including Lakota sun dances, revolutionary exhumations in Spain, Persian imperialism, Nordic myths, and the theology of George W. Bush.
