Serene Jones is the inaugural speaker for the Initiative on Spirituality and Public Life at the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict.
Jones is the 16th president of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where she also holds the Johnston Family Chair for Religion and Democracy. Jones is the first woman to head this historic institution, which was founded in 1836 and is the oldest independent seminary in the United States. Jones joins a long line of leading public intellectuals that have been part of Union’s faculty, including Reinhold Neibuhr, Paul Tillich, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, James Cone, Delores Williams, Cornel West and Michelle Alexander.
Jones is the author or editor of nine books, including “Calvin and the Rhetoric of Piety” (1995), “Feminist Theory and Christian Theology: Cartographies of Grace” (2000) and “Trauma and Grace: Theology in a Ruptured World” (2009; 2nd edition 2019). Her most recent book, “Call It Grace: Finding Meaning in a Fractured World” (2019), is a memoir that offers a vision of a “new, and urgently necessary, public theology” for the twenty-first century.
