​Beginning in childhood, Hannah Nation has lived in ten cities across three continents. As a student of global Christianity, she is inspired by this opportunity to witness a new chapter in church history unfold across China. ​

​Nation currently serves as the Managing Director of the Center for House Church Theology. She is a graduate of Covenant College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and is currently a part-time doctoral student in World Christianity at the University of Edinburgh. Her dissertation topic is the translated theologies of Sundar Singh, Toyohiko Kagawa, and Watchman Nee for 20th Century Anglophone textual communities; she is under the supervision of Alexander Chow. ​

​When she isn't focusing on China, Nation loves to study various topics concerning the history of women and Christianity. She wrote a thesis on Harriet Newell, one of the first American missionary wives, and the significance of her posthumous memoir for early evangelical publishing.

Nation is a frequent writer and speaker on contemporary Chinese gospel movements and the history of women in the church, both academically and popularly. She has written for The Gospel Coalition, Christianity Today, Comment, Plough, byFaith, and Mere Orthodoxy, among other various platforms, and she particularly enjoys speaking to college and seminary students.

Despite having called so many different places home, Nation considers herself a native of Pittsburgh. She currently lives with her husband and two young daughters in South Hamilton, Massachusetts.
