Rev. Dr. Kutter Callaway

Denomination: Baptist (Bapt.)
Organization: Fuller Theological Seminary

Kutter Callaway is the William K. Brehm Chair of Worship, Theology, and the Arts, Associate Dean of the Center for Advanced Theological Studies, and Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} He holds two PhDs from Fuller—one in theology and one in psychological science—alongside earlier master’s degrees.

Before relocating into full-time academia, Callaway served in pastoral ministry and church planting contexts, which shaped his sensitivity to lived faith and cultural engagement. He is active in public theology, writing and speaking on how Christian faith intersects with film, television, digital media, and popular culture. Among his published works are Theology for Psychology and Counseling (2022), The Aesthetics of Atheism, Deep Focus: Film and Theology in Dialogue, Techno-Sapiens in a Networked Era, and Watching TV Religiously.

Callaway also co-chairs the Religion, Film, and Visual Culture group at the American Academy of Religion, and holds memberships in the American Psychological Association and the Society of Biblical Literature. He is ordained as a Baptist minister.

In his work, he often explores how theology must be conversant with cultural forms—not merely critiquing them, but also learning from them. His engagement spans academic forums, media commentary, podcasts (such as the Be Afraid series), and public lectures.

Callaway continues to shape how Christians understand faith in a mediated world, especially at the intersection of worship, culture, and imagination. For more, visit his profile at Kutter Callaway.
