Junius Johnson is assistant professor of historical theology at Baylor University, a research fellow at the Rivendell Institute at Yale, and a research associate at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa. He is the author of Christ and Analogy.

Johnson’s project is ambitious, and his methodology commendable…. I expect that anybody with an interest in Christian theology will be enthusiastic about Junius Johnson’s promising new title, especially those who consider the patristic and medieval periods as the essential starting place for understanding the development of the Christian doctrine of atonement.
