Rev. Jacquelyn E. Winston, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Church History. She is a patristics scholar, with an emphasis in the history of the first five centuries of the Christian church. As an ordained minister with the Foursquare denomination for several decades, her approach to the academic setting is to make theology relevant and living. “Theology is not a dry set of theories devoid of their social and cultural context. It is the living Body of Christ attempting to come to grips with the way that Jesus reveals Himself in our current settings.” Her research interests include the uses of religious rhetoric to marginalize “the other,” cultural and religious constructions of identity, martyrdom and a theology of suffering, Jewish-Christian relations, and material culture analysis.
