All of the appointments are effective July 1 and each will begin teaching in the fall of the 2022-23 academic year.
Joining them on the faculty is Dr. Ángel J. Gallardo, Assistant Professor of Church History, who was called to the position in February.
“Welcoming four new faculty members to Austin Seminary in the same academic year is unprecedented,” says President Ted Wardlaw. “We are very pleased to await their arrival for academic year 2022-2023.”
Dr. Jeong has taught at Emory University since 2017, most recently as an adjunct professor in the Candler School of Theology. He also taught in Mercer University’s Department of Religion.
