Adam S. Miller, an American writer of religious criticism and interpretation and also of contemporary Latter-day Saint lay theology, is a professor of philosophy at Collin College in McKinney, Texas, where he directs the college's honors program.[2][3][4]

Miller has offered a fresh interpretation of such things as Christ's atonement,[5] the appropriate relationship of scholarship with faith,[6][7] and the nature of Latter-day Saint "testimony".[8] Miller co-founded Salt Press, a publisher of Mormon studies sold to BYU's Maxwell Institute, [9] and also founded and serves as co-director of the annual colloquia, the Mormon Theology Seminar.[10]
