New Doctoral Dissertations in World Christianity and Mission
In April, two doctoral students in the School of Theology successfully defended dissertations in world Christianity and mission. Daryl Ireland wrote his dissertation on the preeminent twentieth century Asian revivalist John Sung, Christian Revitalization in China and Southeast Asia. And Travis Myers wrote his thesis on John Eliot, a pioneer missionary among the Native Americans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, “Get as Near to God as You Can”: The Congregationalist Piety and Cross-Cultural Ministry of John Eliot (1604-1690). A special congratulations to Dr. Daryl Ireland (left) and Dr. Travis Myers (right), for contributing to research in the field!
