Faculty
Union has a faculty of scholars in the fields of Bible, Christian education, theology, ethics, preaching, worship, church history, Christian leadership and pastoral care. While the Union curriculum teaches in the Reformed theological tradition, faculty come from a range of denominational backgrounds, including Baptist, Lutheran and Methodist. These scholars have written hundreds of books and articles in their respective fields of study.
Notable faculty include former Moderator of the PC(USA) Syngman Rhee, theologian Katie Geneva Cannon, and current president of Union Presbyterian Seminary, Brian Blount. Retired faculty include Bible scholars Paul J. Achtemeier, James L. Mays and Dean McBride.
