Jehu J. Hanciles, who was born in Sierra Leone, is associate professor of history of Christianity and globalization and director of the Center for Missiological Research (CMR). He came to Fuller as a scholar with Fuller’s Global Research Institute in 1998, and joined the faculty full-time in 2000 after serving in an adjunct capacity. A significant component of Dr. Hanciles’ teaching and research focuses on the history, experiences, and expressions of Christianity in the non-Western world.
The CMR, newly founded in 2009, houses the Ph.D. program in the School of Intercultural Studies and aims to promote collaborative research among Western and non-Western scholars on emerging missiological issues.The Global Research Institute, which Hanciles directed for almost nine years, has become a part of the CMR as a post-doctoral fellowship program.
Hanciles has lived and worked in Sierra Leone, Scotland, Zimbabwe and the U.S. He has written and published books and articles mainly on issues related to mission and globalization as well as African Christianity. He was born and raised Anglican, but has been connected or involved with a variety of Christian traditions over the past 15 years.
Through these lectures the task of global mission today is interpreted in the light of the Christian tradition, the historical experience of the church, and the contemporary situation in the world.
Sponsored by the Global Mission Institute.
