Shivraj Kumar Mahendra is proof there is power in a name. The name and person of Jesus changed everything for Shivraj, including which definitions of his own name would mark him. From pursuing the darkness of idolatry and witchcraft to a transformed life in Christ, you will be blessed to hear Shivraj tell the story of his radical conversion.
Shivraj worked toward his Bachelor of Theology at Luther W. New Jr. Theological College (NTC) in Dehradun, India. When Shivraj graduated, he began teaching, translating, and writing. His first translation from English to Hindi was Dr. Timothy Tennent’s book, “Christianity at the Religious Roundtable: Evangelicalism in Conversation with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam.”
To fulfill his call of becoming a seminary professor, Shivraj went on to study at Union Biblical Seminary (Pune) and the United Theological College (Bangalore) between his ministries. He initially began teaching at Doon Bible College and then became a faculty at NTC where he teaches to this day. In his 30 years of ministry, Shivraj has translated more than 20 books into Hindi and written 10 books in both English and Hindi.
In 2012, Asbury Theological Seminary partnered with NTC. Shivraj and Anita prayed for an opportunity for Shivraj to obtain his PhD at Asbury Seminary in Kentucky after finishing his Master’s degree. The window of opportunity opened, and in 2013, Shivraj became a doctoral student on the Wilmore, KY, campus.
Since coming back to India, Shivraj continues teaching within the Master of Theology program at NTC, where he is Associate Professor of Mission & History of Christianity and Dean of Online Studies. He primarily teaches missiology, the history of Christianity, and world religions.
