Amos Yong came to Fuller in 2014 as professor of theology and mission and director of the School of Intercultural Studies’ Center for Missiological Research, overseeing the PhD and ThM intercultural studies programs. In 2019, he was appointed dean of the School of Intercultural Studies and of the School of Theology, and in 2020 was named chief academic officer for Fuller. He has authored or edited more than 50 books and 225 scholarly articles, and remains active in church and academy.

Before coming to Fuller, he taught for nine years at Regent University School of Divinity, where the last positions he held were J. Rodman Williams Professor of Theology and dean. Prior to that he was on the faculty at Bethel University in St. Paul, Bethany College of the Assemblies of God, and served as a pastor. He also worked in Social and Health Services in Vancouver, Washington.

Yong’s scholarship has been foundational in Pentecostal theology, interacting with both traditional theological traditions and contemporary contextual theologies—dealing with such themes as the theologies of Christian-Buddhist dialogue, of disability, of hospitality, and of the mission of God. He has authored or edited almost four dozen volumes. Among the most recent are Renewing the Church by the Spirit: Theological Education after Pentecost (Theological Education between the Times) (forthcoming, 2020), Pentecostal Theology and Jonathan Edwards (T&T Clark, 2019), Mission after Pentecost (Mission in Global Community): The Witness of the Spirit from Genesis to Revelation (2019), Can “White” People Be Saved?: Triangulating Race, Theology, and Mission (2018), Learning Theology: Tracking the Spirit of Christian Faith (2018), The Bible and Disability: A Commentary (2017), and the Global Renewal Christianity series.
