[/frame_right]As a child growing up in a slum of New Delhi, where children were sold into slavery, Johnson experienced a chain of life-changing awakenings. He came to view Jesus and his teachings as the answer to poverty and slavery in India and beyond. A dedicated instructor from a young age, Johnson has been teaching at the university level for 24 years.
As Professor and Chair in the Department of Biblical and Theological Studies at North Park University, Johnson has fostered the generation of new ideas through faculty collaboration on journal articles, and worked to build a strong academic relationship with North Park Theological Seminary faculty. His courses represent a wide spectrum of topics, from “Introduction to the Bible” to “World Religions in Light of World Crisis Today”.
Professor Johnson holds a B.A. in economics, M. Div. in New Testament studies, and Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible/theological studies. He lectures extensively on the topics of global slavery and human trafficking, evangelicalism and world religions, and Biblical principles of environmental stewardship. In addition, he is currently working on a book titled The Feminist Theology of the Wisdom Traditions of the Hebrew Bible and the
Ancient Near Eastern Texts.
