IVP Statement About Vince Bantu
In September 2024 Christianity Today published an article reporting that Vince Bantu had been involved in misconduct in 2018, which resulted in his resignation from two professional positions. The article also indicated that Fuller Theological Seminary was conducting an investigation into more recent allegations of misconduct. Following the conclusion of Fuller’s investigation in October 2024, Bantu was dismissed from his position as assistant professor.
Given the seriousness of these developments, we made the decision to withdraw A Multitude of all Peoples from the marketplace.
We recognize the profound impact of situations like this on people’s lives and the witness of the Church. Please join us in praying for the healing and restoration of both.
