"Global Christianity"

Dr. Todd Johnson

www.gordonconwell.edu

How does God use a man who was baptized as a Scandinavian Lutheran and joined a Charismatic mission agency before marrying a Presbyterian in a Congregational church? In what ways did his background which includes baptizing his daughter in an Anglican church, while working for a Baptist mission, and joining the faculty of an Evangelical seminary prepare him for research in global Christianity? This is the story of Todd Johnson, who in the spirit of John 3:16, learned about Jesus as a global savior in Cambodia.

Dr. Todd M. Johnson is the Eva B. and Paul E. Toms Distinguished Professor of Mission and Global Christianity and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He is also a visiting Research Fellow at Boston University’s Institute for Culture, Religion, and World Affairs. Todd earned his Ph.D. at William Carey University.
