Dr. Esther Yue L. Ng

Dr. Esther Ng graduated from the University of Hong Kong with majors in Zoology and Botany. While attending HKU, she received God’s call and willingly committed her life to full-time ministry. Upon graduation, she taught in a high school for two years and thereafter came to the United States for theological studies. She earned an M.A. degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and another one from Indiana University, majoring in New Testament (with her thesis titled The Hermeneutical Principles of Redaction Criticism as Applied to the Apocalyptic
Son of Man Sayings ) and religious studies (her thesis being Jewish-Christian Discussions over the Mosaic Law in Justin Martyr’s Dialogue with Trypho) respectively. She then returned to Hong Kong and served in the China Graduate School of Theology for 17 years. There she held various positions, including teaching in extension courses, serving as assistant lecturer, later lecturer, Chief Editor and Director of the Department of Publication. In 1995, she resigned from CGST and went to Aberdeen University in Scotland for further studies, focusing on an evaluation of the feminist theologian Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza who reconstructed the origins of Christianity and the role of women then. Upon earning her doctorate, Dr. Ng immigrated to the States.
