Fuller Theological Seminary School of Mission & Theology Paul E. Pierson Chair in World Christianity Endowed Chair Faculty Position Profile Fuller Theological Seminary invites applicants for the endowed Paul E. Pierson Chair in World Christianity, with a proposed start date of July 1, 2027. The successful candidate will create a dynamic academic space for scholars and students to research the global Christian
movement within Fuller's global, ecumenical, and contextually engaged framework. World Christianity is both a phenomenon and a field of study. It is the observable result of the global expansion of the gospel since the giving of the Great Commission and Pentecost. Its study yields insight into how people receive the faith and share it across local contexts and generations; it reveals the variety of forms of church
planted in different cultures as well as their worldwide interconnections; and it generates fresh thinking, drawn from historical example, about witness among people of other religions and service to our neighbors in wider society. In short, the study of world Christianity is the study of mission and evangelism that learns from the experience of other Christians in different times and places. Qualifications
Background: Ph.D. in World Christianity, Mission Studies/Missiology, History of Christianity, Intercultural Studies, Theology, or related fields. Established record of scholarly achievement appropriate for an endowed chair position. Significant experience in the life and ministry of the church, with demonstrated capacity for cross-cultural engagement and international collaboration. Scholarly expertise in world
Christianity with demonstrated engagement with theologians, practitioners, and theological discourses from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other non-Western contexts, and with the interreligious dimensions of Christian witness. Teaching: Demonstrated excellence in graduate-level teaching with an ability to lead and facilitate students in exploring both theoretical and practical dimensions of world Christianity,
mission, and evangelism. Competence and vision for teaching a diverse student body. The ability to speak and teach in Spanish, Korean, or other languages is desirable. Proficiency in the use of classroom technology, including the seminary's designated online course management system (Canvas). The position will include teaching in traditional and online modalities within the School of Mission and Theology curriculum.
