Xi Li is a Research Fellow in Biblical Studies and Moral Theology at Shandong University in China. He has a background in Biblical Studies (MDiv, PhD), Philosophy (PhD), and Medicine (BA, MM). His research focuses on interpreting biblical texts through the lens of trauma studies and examining the philosophical theories behind narratives about resurrection, theodicy, and free will in biblical texts. Within the Psychology of Religion, Xi Li is interested in the psychological rationale and function of religious faith. For instance, he is curious how religious faith relates to the emotions of awe, fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, or others and whether or how religious faith may contribute to mental or physical health.
