S. Kyle Johnson
Writer, teacher, activist, theologian, pilgrim.
My work dwells where the spiritual meets the political. This, to me, means working to make sense of faith, society, human bodies, in all our overlapping dimensions: How we worship, how we vote, how we treat one another, how we pray.
These are the points of interconnection that goad my work. I write, I teach, I consult, I travel and explore, and sometimes preach and minister. I have a Master of Divinity and a Master of Theology.
​
I am currently a PhD Candidate in Systematic Theology at Boston College. My dissertation focuses on the viability of demonology in modern and contemporary theology, analyzed in light of
post-colonial and critical race perspectives.
