The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has announced the appointment of J. Kyle Brosseau as Assistant Professor of Christian Missions and World Religions. This new addition to the faculty reinforces the seminary’s ongoing commitment to equipping students for global gospel engagement.
“We are very thankful that Dr. Kyle Brosseau is joining the Billy Graham School as Assistant Professor of Christian Missions and World Religions,” said R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Seminary. “He comes with a remarkable background in missions and in Hinduism as well as the larger field of world missions. At Southern Seminary, world missions is taken as a course of study entirely for the purpose of missions and evangelism, and I am so glad we have all of this combined in one person coming to us with so much experience and academic background. We look forward to Dr. Brosseau and his family joining us here at Southern Seminary.”
Brosseau, an experienced missionary and scholar of world religions, brings more than a decade of practical and academic experience to his new role. Having served in both South Asia and Europe with the International Mission Board, he has focused much of his work on Hindu contexts, urban pastoral training, and digital theological education. He currently resides in Prague, Czech Republic, where he serves as a high school Bible teacher at the Christian International School of Prague, an adjunct instructor at College of the Ozarks, and works with missionaries from the Majority World through the IMB’s Europe Affinity.
Southern Seminary Provost Paul Akin welcomed the appointment with enthusiasm.
“As we consider our Great Commission task with over 1 billion Hindus in the world, we are thrilled to have Dr. Brosseau joining our faculty,” Akin said. “His firsthand experience in that context as a practitioner will offer our students invaluable insight, a missionary vision, and theological foundations for engaging the Hindu world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Brosseau holds a PhD in World Religions and a ThM in Christian Missions from Southern Seminary. He also earned a Doctor of Ministry in Missions from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, along with multiple degrees in theology, missions, and biblical languages. In addition to his fieldwork, he has published on a range of topics including Hindu-Christian dialogue, the use of media in missions, and contemporary missiological challenges.
Beyond his academic credentials, Brosseau is fluent in both English and Hindi and has conducted research in Sanskrit, Greek, and Hebrew. His deep understanding of Hinduism and his field-tested methods for pastoral and theological education make him a unique asset for Southern’s students preparing for international missions.
Brosseau is expected to begin his faculty role in the upcoming academic year, where he will teach courses on Christian missions and world religions, as well as mentor students preparing for ministry in Hindu-majority contexts and beyond.
