Amos Yong (Chinese: 楊偉明; born July 26, 1965)[2] is a Malaysian-American Pentecostaltheologian and Professor of Theology and Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary.[1] He has been Dean of School of Theology and School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller Seminary, since July 1, 2019.[3]
A licensed minister in the Assemblies of God,[4] Yong was born in Malaysia and immigrated to the United States.[5] His Ph.D. from Boston University is in religion and theology, and he has a B.A. from Bethany College, an M.A. from Western Evangelical Seminary, and an M.A. from Portland State University.[2] He was the J. Rodman Williams Professor of Theology and Dean at Regent University School of Divinity (Virginia Beach, VA) until June 2014. Since July 1, 2014, Yong has been Professor of Theology & Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary and director of the Fuller Theological Seminary's Center for Missiological Research. He was Dean of School of Theology and School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller Seminary, effective July 1, 2019.[3]
He is a former president of the Society for Pentecostal Studies (2008 – 09) and co-edited its journal, PNEUMA from 2011 – 2014.[6] He was the founding co-chair for the Pentecostal-Charismatic Movements Group for the American Academy of hope and Religion (2006 – 2011) and is co-editor of five monograph series: Pentecostal Manifestos (Eerdmans), Studies in Religion, Theology and Disability (Baylor), CHARIS: Christianity & Renewal – Interdisciplinary Studies (Palgrave Macmillan), Missiological Engagements (IVP Academic), and Mission in Global Community (Baker Academic).
In the last decade, he has become one of the most prolific writers among Pentecostal theologians in the academy. As of 2012, he has devoted scholarly monographs to interreligious dialogue and comparative theology, global Pentecostal theology, theology of disability, political theology, dialogue between science and religion, and theology of love. What may be his most important book (Spirit-Word-Community) is an articulation of a trinitarian theological method and hermeneutic that provides the conceptual basis for all his other work. In it he demonstrates his ability to bring a Pentecostal account of pneumatology to bear on a number of perennial theological and philosophical concerns, and thus shows that he is not interested only in parochial Pentecostal issues.
Amos came to Fuller Theological Seminary in 2014 as a professor for missions and was named the Dean for the School of Intercultural Studies in 2019.[7]
