Dr. Jacob Alan Cook

Theologian, Ethicist, Teacher, Author

Jacob Alan Cook explores how regular practices of moral-theological formation can promote practices that make for peace, starting with navigating tough, everyday conversations. As a theologian, he investigates how people move from a beliefs-based sense of identity and security in the world toward a more vibrant, relational posture of faith.

His first book, Worldview Theory, Whiteness, and the Future of Evangelical Faith, is out now along with a series of articles on Baptist News Global introducing its hypothesis.

Jake serves as Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics at Eastern Mennonite Seminary and a co-director of the Shalom Collaboratory. This program creates new theological formation spaces to promote practices that make for just peace. He also serves as a senior research fellow at the International Baptist Theological Study Centre, where he works with and advises PhD students.
