Career

Jenning gained his B.A. in religion and theology at Calvin College in 1984, and his M.Div in Fuller Theological Seminary in 1987. He completed his Ph.D. in religion, with a concentration on theology and ethics, at Duke University in 1993, supervised under Geoffrey Wainwright. His Ph.D. dissertation topic is "Reclaiming the Creature: Anthropological Vision in the Thought of Athanasius of Alexandria and Karl Barth."[1]

From 1990 to 2015, Jennings worked at Duke University Divinity School and taught theology and black church studies there,[2] before he was appointed associate professor of systematic theology and Africana studies at Yale in 2015.[3] He is an ordained Baptist minister and has served as interim pastor for several North Carolina churches.

Writings

In 2010, Yale University Press published Jennings's The Christian Imagination: Theology and the Origins of Race.[4] The book is a study of the circumstances and theology precipitating Christian participation in racism and colonialism.[5] Syndicate editor-in-chief Christian Amondson considered it a "bold, creative, and courageous critique" of supersessionism and its entanglement in socially constructed ideas about race.[6] Carroll College professor Eric Dayl Meyer called the book "a significant contribution to academic theology".[5] For writing The Christian Imagination, Jennings received the American Academy of Religion's 2011 award for the best book in constructive theology and the 2015 Grawemeyer Award in Religion.[4] In 2017, the Belief Bible commentary series released Jennings's Acts: A Theological Commentary on the Bible, a volume the journal Horizons called "musical and aesthetically charged" and recommended to scholars of race and postcolonialism.[7]
