"Today's Church - Our Challenge: The Gift of Perspective"
Dr. David Jensen, Professor of Constructive Theology and Interim Dean, has been teaching at Austin Seminary since 2001. His teaching and research explore the
interconnections between Christian theology and daily life. He is currently working on two book manuscripts, one
that develops a theology of human sexuality and another that reflects
on the experience of parenting in light of Christian faith. Professor Jensen is on the
steering committee of the Childhood Studies and Religion group of the
American Academy of Religion and serves on the editorial board of four
journals, including Religious Studies Review and Austin Seminary’s faculty journal, Insights.
