Biography
Christian Sánchez was called to Union Presbyterian Seminary in 2024.

Because his doctoral research in Lukan literature speaks to Latinx concerns and experiences, Christian won the Hispanic Theological Initiative/Lilly Dissertation Fellowship award in 2023.
Christian is married to his best friend, Dr. Crystal Sánchez, a Physical Therapist. He is also a member of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

His research primarily focuses on the Gospel of Luke, the Acts of the Apostles, the Book of Revelation, early Christian apocalyptic theology, Empire studies, and postcolonial interpretation.
