Henry Kuo

Henry S. Kuo is associate professor of church histories and historical theology at Eden Theological Seminary. Hailing from Taiwan, Dr. Kuo’s extended and multi-religious family lives in Singapore, Malaysia, across the United States, South Africa, and Costa Rica. Consequently, he aims to bring global perspectives into how he teaches Christian histories and historical theology, especially in a time where non-Western voices are becoming more prominent in global Christianity. He has presented and published book chapters and articles on a variety of subjects, including theology and migration; theology and Chinese philosophies; law and religion; Reformed histories and theology; business ethics; local church histories, and others. He is currently working on a book on Reformed catholicity.

Dr. Kuo loves to get involved with local churches. He has preached and taught classes at Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, and United Methodist churches in the St. Louis area, New York City, and in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he was most recently associate professor of theology and ethics at Greensboro College. He also serves on the steering committee of the Ecclesiological Investigations Unit in the American Academy of Religion, the largest academic society for religion scholars in the world, and is regularly involved with the Ecclesiological Investigations international conferences that take place around the world. He is currently collaborating with the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC) for their 2025 General Council in Chiang Mai, Thailand. To that end, he moderates the General Council’s Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations Working Group, and is dean of the WCRC’s 2025 Global Institute of Theology.
