Malory Nye is an independent scholar based in Perth, Scotland, with teaching activities at the Universities of Glasgow, and also a research scholar at the Ronin Institute. He will be known to many listeners through his book Religion: The Basics (now being updated for a third edition), or perhaps through his blogging at medium.com, his podcasts Religion Bites and History’s Ink, or through his editorship of the journal Culture & Religion.
