 FACULTY AND INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF
Union Theological Seminary's faculty and instructional staff of world-renowned scholars is composed of 22 full-time and visiting professors, 12 adjunct professors, and 27 lecturers. Many are authors of principal theological texts. The culturally diverse women and men of Union's senior faculty represent all families of the Christian tradition—Protestant, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. One senior faculty member is Jewish and holds a dual appointment with the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
Throughout its history, Union Theological Seminary has been home to leading theological scholars:
In the late nineteenth century Union professor and later president, Charles Briggs, was a leading proponent of German Biblical scholarship in the United States.
Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich were professors at Union in the mid-1900s; their melding of society and religion revived Protestant theology. Martyred German WWII resistance-leader and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer; activist pastor Adam Clayton Powell; and popular writer and lecturer Marcus Borg, all were Union students.
More recently, Union's faculty has included noted feminist and womanist theologians Beverly Harrison and Delores Williams; "father" of black liberation theology James Cone; and Ann Ulanov, pioneer in the field of psychiatry religion.
Today's Union faculty is comprised of internationally acclaimed and academically-prolific scholars, many of whom have written the seminal literature in their respective fields. In addition to Drs. Cone and Ulanov, among them are: reformation scholar Euan Cameron; liberal theologian and social ethicist Gary Dorrien; expert in Jewish-Christian relations, Mary Boys; early church historian John McGuckin; and Paul Knitter, who is widely-recognized for his work in world religions and culture.
