Luke A. Powery is the Perry and Georgia Engle Assistant Professor of Homiletics at Princeton Theological Seminary. He received his B.A. in music with a concentration in vocal performance from Stanford University, his M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and his Th.D. from Emmanuel College, University of Toronto. His teaching and research interests are located at the intersection of preaching, worship, pneumatology, performance studies, and culture, particularly expressions of the African diaspora. His courses include an exploration of the relationship between the Holy Spirit and preaching, and the connection between corporate worship practices and social witness in the world. He is a member of the Academy of Homiletics for which he serves as secretary, the American Academy of Religion, and the Society for the Study of Black Religion. In addition, he is a member of the executive lectionary team for The African American Lectionary, a project funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc. Though he was nurtured in the Holiness-Pentecostal tradition, he was ordained by the Progressive National Baptist Convention, and has served in an ecumenical capacity in churches throughout Switzerland, Canada, and the United States.
