Welcome to episode twenty-one of New Creation Conversations. In this conversation I’m joined by Dr. Amos Yong. Amos is Professor of Theology and Mission as well as the Dean of the School of Theology and Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary. Amos received his undergraduate degree from Bethany College, has Masters degrees from Western Evangelical Seminary and Portland State University, and a PhD from Boston University.

Amos is a prolific writer. He has written or edited more than 50 books and 225 scholarly articles. His work in particular on the Holy Spirit has been foundational for contemporary Pentecostal theology, but he has also written extensively on inter-religious dialogue, political theology, and a theology of disability.

I got to know Amos 25 years ago when I was at SNU and was invited to come and respond – from my Holiness perspective – on papers being presented at the Society for Pentecostal Studies. If you search his name on Amazon, you will find dozens of his books there. All of his books on the Holy Spirit are incredible. His Theology and Down Syndrome was very formative in my own ministry. The Amos Young Reader surveys his work. And he has a new commentary on Revelation in the Belief series that will be released this fall. I’m really grateful for Amos’ hospitality and friendship, and am especially glad that two theological cousins like the Pentecostal and Holiness traditions can (and are) finding places of common mission and connection in these days. I’m really honored to bring you this New Creation Conversation with Dr. Amos Yong.
