Biography

Andy Draycott teaches classes in systematic and practical theology. He is deeply invested in the interdisciplinary integration of faith and learning, always seeking a diversity of voices, texts, and material expressions of evangelical theology to encourage students in their learning. He has worked or taught on issues as varied as a theology of preaching, evangelical social action in Brazil, theology of immigration, church and disability, and the theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. His present research focuses on the theological, spiritual, literary, and cultural legacy of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress.
