 Biographical Information 

Scott William Sunquist joined Fuller in July 2012 as dean of the School of Intercultural Studies and professor of world Christianity. He came from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, where he served for 17 years as professor of world Christianity (2009–2012) and the W. Don McClure Associate Professor of World Mission and Evangelism (1995–2009). Previously Sunquist and his wife, Nancy, were missionaries in the Republic of Singapore, where he was a lecturer in church history, ecumenics, and Asian Christianity at Trinity Theological College (1987–1995) and, as an ordained minister of the PC(USA), served as pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Singapore. Prior to this he was a campus staff member for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in both Virginia and Massachusetts.

Dr. Sunquist’s main interests lie in Christian mission, evangelism, and world Christian history. He has written in the areas of mission theology, pluralism, and Asian Christianity, and at present focuses his research and writing on historiography, missiology, and Christianity in the non-Western world. 

Sunquist’s articles, chapters, reviews, and essays have been published in numerous missiological and theological journals and books. Most recently, he authored The Unexpected Christian Century: The Reversal and Transformation of Global Christianity, 1900–2000 (2015), and coedited, with Amos Yong, The Gospel and Pluralism Today: Reassessing Lesslie Newbigin in the 21st Century (2015). His Understanding Christian Mission: Participation in Suffering and Glory (2013) received the Christianity Today 2014 Best Book award in the “Missions/Global Affairs” category. The three-volume History of the World Christian Movement, which he coauthored with Dale Irvin, received several awards: Volume 1: Earliest Christianity to 1453 (2001) received the Choice Book Award and the Catholic History Book Award, first place. Volume 1 and volume 2, Modern Christianity from 1454–1800 (2012) were among the Top 15 Books chosen by the International Bulletin of Missionary Research (IBMR). Volume 3 of this project is in process. With his daughter, Caroline Becker, he also coedited A History of Presbyterian Missions, 1944–2007 (2008). 

Sunquist currently serves on the editorial boards of Journal of World Christianity and Orbis Books (mission series). He is also a board member for the Foundation for Theological Education for Southeast Asia and, previously, for Presbyterians for Renewal and the former Presbyterian Center for Mission Studies. 

Sunquist and his wife have four grown children and (at present) six grandchildren.
