Our faculty—comprised of intelligent, energetic, and accessible professionals with a national presence in the church—reflect their deep love and care for the Seminary community every day as they accompany students on their journeys of discovery.
Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary has received a grant of $1,248,603 from Lilly Endowment Inc. to help establish The Faithful Preaching Project, a new initiative designed to help preachers of small mainline congregations instill deeper faith in their listeners and empower them to live out their faith more fully in worship and in the community beyond their church walls.
Dr. Donghyun Jeong, assistant professor of New Testament, has published his first book, Pauline Baptism among the Mysteries: Ritual Message and the Promise of Initiation (De Gruyter, 2023).
Professor Song-Mi Suzie Park has written her fourth book, Love in the Hebrew Bible, published by Westminster John Knox Press (WJK) this May.
The Reverend Crystal Silva-McCormick will become visiting instructor of evangelism and missions on July 1
