Jacob
Cherian, a first-year Ph.D. student and ordained minister
in the Assemblies of God church, has
a passion for ministering to students. And his students are grateful. In India,
he says, students are welcome to visit their professors and ask for guidance
even at midnight. For this reason, he laughs, “very few of us write any
books.”
Cherian doesn’t doubt that after his studies he will return
to India, where he last taught New Testament and served as student life director
at Southern Asia Bible College in Bangalore. He’s “too involved in ministry
there” not to. His dissertation may focus on issues of poverty and equality in
Paul, because of their importance in his home context. But for now, he and
his family are enjoying Princeton as another “wonderful trip of God’s
marvelous grace.”
