A Sense of the Divine

What is the significance of the Christian confession that God has made each person with a sense of the divine? What implications does this have for apologetics and public discourse? Join us as Dr. Gray Sutanto, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington D.C., discusses how the awareness of God arises in the human person, based on his recent book, A Sense of the Divine.

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

His recent books include A Sense of the Divine: An Affective Model of General Revelation from the Reformed Tradition (Cambridge, 2025); God and Humanity: Herman Bavinck and Theological Anthropology (T&T Clark, 2024); and Neo-Calvinism: A Theological Introduction (co-authored with Cory Brock; Lexham, 2023). 

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.
