SPEAKER BIO
Speaker for the 2024 Duerr Lecture Series
is Dr. William Yoo, Associate Professor of
American Religious and Cultural History, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, GA.
Dr. Yoo has written about the transnational histories of American Protestant world
missions in Korea and Korean American immigrant religious communities as well as the
histories of Presbyterianism and Protestant theological education in the United States.
His latest book, What kind of Christianity: A History of Slavery and Anti-Black Racism
in the Presbyterian Church, Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2022, covers the history and legacy of slavery and anti-Black racism in
American Presbyterianism. His current research interests include tracing the histories
of racial injustice, settler colonialism, and slavery in the United States and examining
Indigenous, Black, and Asian American theologies of freedom and resistance.
Dr. Yoo is also a minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA) who
desires to write, teach, and preach honest narratives of the past integrating Reformed
understandings of confession and illumination. His conviction is that deeper
engagement with history will aid us in more faithful and effective participation in our
present ministries exhibiting God’s love, justice, grace, and righteousness.
