About
Jason Oliver Evans is a PhD student in the Christian Theological Perspectives area of study in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia.

In his work, Evans considers how identity, race, sexuality and gender more broadly factor into the study of Christian faith and practice. Evans’ other research interests include trinitarian theology, pneumatology, ecclesiology, practical theology, Scripture and theological hermeneutics, and the thought of 20th-century Reformed theologian Karl Barth. Previously, Evans earned a Bachelor of Science in speech communication at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Divinity at Duke Divinity School, and a Master of Theology at Candler School of Theology at Emory University.
