Dr. Kristin Johnston Largen joined the faculty in the summer of 2006, bringing a diverse and expansive background in systematic theology. She teaches a variety of theological loci courses, with a particular focus on soteriology. She also teaches comparative theology, and specializes in Buddhism and Hinduism. She is committed to the training of public theologians at Gettysburg Seminary, and believes strongly in the relevance of systematic theology both to one's public ministry and to one's personal faith life.
Previous to her arrival at Gettysburg Seminary, she taught at Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Largen is an ordained member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and has received theological training at Wartburg Theological Seminary, the Augustana Hochschule in Neuendettelsau, Germany, and the Graduate Theological Union, in Berkeley, California, where she earned her doctoral degree. She is currently the editor of Dialog: a Lutheran Journal of Theology, and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue.

She loves running, reading, and playing the harp. She is married to John Largen, Pastor to the Seminary Community for Spiritual Formation at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. They have one very sweet Jack Russell Terrier, Henry.
