Amos Yong

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. Since returning to regular faculty status in 2023, he continues to research and write, adding to more than five dozen books and hundreds of scholarly articles, while remaining active in both church and academy.

Before coming to Fuller, Dr. Yong 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 and 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 is 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, theology and science, political theology, Asian American theology, and of the mission of God.
