Esau McCaulley (Assistant Professor of New Testament @ Wheaton College) researches widely in New Testament scholarship with a focus on the role Jewish messianism played in Paul’s argument that Jesus made believers heirs in the Messiah to the Abrahamic promises in Galatians. His first book,Sharing the Son’s Inheritance, was published with T&T Clark, and he has another book, Reading While Black, forthcoming with InterVarsity Academic Press. He is also one of the co-founders of Call and Response Ministries, an organization dedicated to creating events and materials that equip black Christian leaders and those who support them for effective ministry.

 

 Andrea White is an Associate Professor of Theology and Culture Union Theological Seminary in New York, where she works in constructive Christian theology. And in particular, she is interested in how the concerns of womanist and postmodern thought intersect with theologies of otherness, the doctrine of God, theological anthropology, and many other areas. She’s published or edited a number of volumes, including her first monograph The Back of God: A Theology of Otherness in Karl Barth and Paul Ricoeur and her current forthcoming book, The Scandal of Flesh: Black Women’s Bodies and God Politics. She’s delivered a wide range of prominent lectures, given keynote addresses for a number of societies, and is an ordained American Baptist minister.
