Rev. Malcolm Foley, PhD is a pastor, speaker, author and historian, concerned first and foremost with his own Christlikeness and that of those whom the Lord has called him to serve. He holds a PhD in the History of Christianity from Baylor University, an M.Div. from Yale Divinity School, where he focused on the theology of the early and medieval church, and a BA with majors in Religious Studies and Finance from Washington University in St. Louis. His first book, The Anti-Greed Gospel: Why the Love of Money is the Root of Racism and How the Church Can Create a New Way Forward (Brazos, 2025) helps equip the church to resist Mammon and its current form of racialized capitalism. The Anti-Greed Gospel was named Englewood Books’ 2025 Book of the Year and was a finalist for the 2026 Christian Book Award (Faith & Culture Category). He’s currently working on another one where he spends more time with his favorite theologians: Greek and Byzantine saints from the 4th to the 14th century.
He is also bi-vocational, serving Baylor University as the special adviser to the President for campus engagement. He lives in Waco with his wonderful wife, Desiree, and two daughters.
