Theology Author

Joy J. Moore is an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church. As a professor of preaching at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, Moore helped provide the vision to establish the William E. Pannell Center for African American Church Studies. When not telling stories with a theological twist, she seeks to understand the impact of various media forms on how we assimilate information and what it does to our religious imagination.
