Edward Jarvis (author)

Edward Jarvis FRAI FRAS FRHistS (born 1975) is a British author of social and religious history, religion and politics, and theology. His books on the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church (ICAB) and the lives of Carlos Duarte Costa and Ngô Đình Thục were the first ever scholarly studies of those subjects.[1] They have contributed to the historically small body of academic literature on the paradoxically widespread (and growing)[2][3] phenomenon of Independent Catholicism,[4] and the relatively limited body of scholarship on Christianity in Vietnam, Christianity in Myanmar (Burma), and Christianity in Southeast Asia generally.[5][6]

Early life and education

Edward Jarvis was born in Kingston upon Hull, England, in 1975, to an English father and an Italian mother.[7] His great-grandfather was the Italian film actor Umberto Sclanizza, and he is a first cousin (five times removed) of travel writer, novelist, and biblical translator George Borrow.[8] Jarvis attended the Malet Lambert School before studying theology and religious studies at Trinity & All Saints College (B.A.) under Gerard Mannion, York St John (M.A.), and the Logos Institute of Theology (Th.D.). He lectured in contemporary religious ethics at Liverpool Hope University (again working with Mannion) and later worked at Durham University's Centre for Catholic Studies.[9]

Work

Jarvis authored the first ever biography of Brazilian bishop Carlos Duarte Costa, and God, Land & Freedom: the true story of ICAB, the first full-length study of Costa's Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church (ICAB) to appear in ICAB's 75-year history. This work has been called "engaging and informative ... provocative and stimulating"[10] among other positive responses.[11][12] He has contributed to periodicals of church and current affairs.[13][14] He is also the first and only biographer (to date) of the Vietnamese archbishop Ngô Đình Thục, influential brother of President Ngô Đình Diệm.[15]

Awards

Jarvis was elected a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society (FRAS) in 2019.[16] He was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute (FRAI).[17] In 2021 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (FRHistS).[18]
