Virginia Theological Seminary has a strong and distinguished faculty. The Rev. John Y. H. Yieh, Ph.D. has not simply been made full professor after a demanding process of evaluation, but also the recipient of the 2009 Suzanne F. Thomas Faculty Research Award.
This important Award is an opportunity for the Seminary to recognize major research projects and support excellence in scholarship. Dr. Yieh is a worthy recipient of this award.
Dr. Yieh’s research interests range widely. He has not simply written on Matthew’s Gospel, in particular the Sermon on the Mount, but he is also one of the leading scholars on the reception of Christianity in China. Given that China is a leading economic and cultural power in the world, this work on understanding Christianity in China is enormously important. This is a pioneering research area; thanks to John Yieh, the Seminary is leading the way.
It is so good that we have this award. It is an award given to the Seminary in honor of Suzanne Thomas who believed in the importance of research underpinning teaching. We are grateful for the interest of our friends who support the Seminary.
The Very Rev Ian Markham
Dean and President
