About Dr. Sutanto

Dr. N. Gray Sutanto joined as the Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington D.C., in the summer of 2020.

Along with the Dutch Reformed theologian Herman Bavinck, Dr. Sutanto’s research interests are broad, ranging from modern Protestant theology, prolegomena, humanity and sin, the relationship between philosophy and theology, analytic theology, and Christianity and culture. He is currently writing on the doctrines of humanity and sin.

Dr. Sutanto serves as an associate editor of the Journal of Reformed Theology. Ordained in the International Presbyterian Church, he has served as a teaching elder in Covenant City Church, Jakarta, Indonesia, and has received visiting fellowships at the Theological University of Kampen-Utrecht and Princeton Theological Seminary. He is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society and is on the steering committee for the Reformed Theology and History Unit of the American Academy of Religion.

He is married to Indita Probosutedjo and together they have a daughter. Dr. Sutanto grew up in Jakarta and Singapore, and in his spare time, he enjoys watching indie movies, playing the guitar, and reading.
