Priscilla Pope-Levison

Priscilla Pope-Levison, award-winning author, historian, pastor, higher education administrator and professor, has a heart for the ancient yet contemporary Christian practice of evangelism. In her most recent, award-winning book, Models of Evangelism (Baker Academic, 2020), she gathers together her vast experience over several decades of teaching, speaking, and writing into a compelling and coherent one-stop shop for all things evangelism. In previous publications, she unearthed a large cadre of North American women who engaged in evangelism across the country. These women and their accomplishments come to life in two books: Building the Old Time Religion: Women Evangelists in the Progressive Era (NYU Press, 2015) and Turn the Pulpit Loose: Two Centuries of American Women Evangelists (Palgrave Macmillan, 2004). Over the past five years, she has received two million-dollar grants from the Lilly Endowment for her work to revitalize congregations. Priscilla currently works at SMU/Perkins School of Theology as Research Professor in Practical Theology and Director of the Testimony HQ Thriving Congregations Grant, funded by the Lilly Endowment.
