Biography

McCaulley majored in history at the

Since 2019, McCaulley has been assistant professor of New Testament at Wheaton College. He was ordained in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).[3] He is a contributing writer on several outlets such as Christianity Today, The Washington Post, and The New York Times.[4]

His first book, Sharing in the Son's Inheritance, based on his dissertation, is a study on the book of Galatians which explores the link between Paul's understanding of Jesus as Davidic Messiah and a view that the Abrahamic land promise encompasses the whole earth. His second book, Reading While Black, advocates for what he terms a "Black ecclesial interpretation" of the Bible based on the experiences and the cultural perspectives of the African American community. It is less about promoting a different meaning of the text of the Bible, as it is saying that the reader's experiences shape different questions for the Bible which render new insights.[5]

In 2020, McCaulley received the "Emerging Public Intellectual Award" from

Redeemer University.[6] His Reading While Black won the 2021 Christianity Today book award, under the category "Beautiful Orthodoxy."[7]

Navy reservist.[2] Together they have four children.[4]
