ESSAYS ON THE OCCASION OF THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DIVINITY
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Wake Forest University School of Divinity, this volume presents a signature collection of essays authored by distinguished members of our community. Framed by the School’s founding commitment to justice, reconciliation, and compassion, these contributions offer critical reflections on the past, discerning engagement with the present, and visionary insight into the future of theological education. Together, these essays bear witness to a quarter-century of graduate theological education rooted in justice, reconciliation, and compassion, and testify to the School’s ongoing commitment to critical ecumenical inquiry, prophetic public witness, and faithful leadership in a pluralistic world.
These essays do more than commemorate. They call us together, anchor us in our shared purpose, and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing work of inviting reflection, inspiring action, and offering a compelling vision of who we are—and who we are becoming.

Dean of the School of Divinity and Wake Forest Professor of the Humanities

What kind of work still matters when no one is watching?
Faithfulness is often formed in quiet spaces — in study, service, prayer, and unseen acts of care. Consider the habits and commitments that shape who you are becoming, even when there’s no spotlight.

Dean Corey D. B. Walker on the passing of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson (1941-2026)
The Wake Forest University School of Divinity joins the world in honoring the life and enduring legacy of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson (1941-2026). Reverend Jackson`s commitment to a just world and the inherent dignity of all humanity stands as a beacon of hope in our world today and in the days to come. From the Black freedom struggle to the global human rights movement, Reverend Jackson was a powerful prophetic voice in the pulpit and in the public square. His passion, commitment, and dedication will always be remembered as will his many contributions to the unfinished struggle for freedom, democracy, and human flourishing.
