About Jones

I am Professor Emeritus of Theology and Ethics at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana, having retired in June 2000.

A native of Oklahoma, I have received degrees from the University of Oklahoma [B.A. '58], Yale Divinity School [M.Div.'61], Yale Graduate School [M.A. '63, Ph.D. '70].

I have enjoyed a long career in theological education, having taught at three seminaries: Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University[1965-75]; Phillips University Graduate Seminary[1975-88]; and Christian Theological Seminary[1988-2000]. I served Phillips as seminary dean and then as university president, and I was dean at CTS for four years.

The book arises from these many years of teaching theology, but especially from the time spent at CTS teaching a year long course in systematic theology. Notes from this class grew over time until they required two volumes of xeroxed text, distributed by the CTS Bookstore, to contain them. These two volumes were the basis of the book, A Grammar of Christian Faith: Systematic Explorations in Christian Life and Doctrine, 2 vols., Rowman and Littlefield, 2002.

I am an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In October of 2003 Yale Divinity School honored me with the Distinguished Alumni Award for Excellence in Theological Education. For the 2005/06 academic year I was Visiting Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School.

My wife, Sarah, is a Marriage and Family Therapist and is certified for spiritual direction. My eldest daughter, Serene Jones, is the Titus Street Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School. My middle daughter, Kindy Jones, is an attorney in private practice in Oklahoma City. My youngest daughter, Verity Jones, is Editor/Publisher of Disciples World, a journal for the Christian Church.
