Anthony Bradley

Anthony B. Bradley is an American author and was professor of religion, theology and ethics at the King's College in New York City, where he also served as the chair of the Religious and Theological Studies program and directed the Galsworthy Criminal Justice Reform Program. He is also a research fellow for The Acton Institute.

Early life and education
Bradley has a BS in biological sciences from Clemson University, a Master of Divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary, a Master of Arts in Ethics and Society from Fordham University, and PhD from Westminster Theological Seminary. Before coming to the King's, he was an assistant professor of theology at the Covenant Seminary from 2005 to 2009, where he also directed the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute.

Career
Bradley's 2013 book, Aliens in the Promised Land, is a minority-led conversation about racism in the U.S. evangelical church.

In his 2015 book Runaway Radical, author Jonathan Hollingsworth identifies Bradley as the first to identify a new kind of evangelical legalism, in which young people feel compelled to enact their devotion to the Gospel by such radical acts as giving away all of their possessions, or dropping out of university to dedicate their lives to serving the poor.
