Whether he’s standing before a graduate seminar at Oxford, speaking to students at an HBCU, or fielding questions from a community audience in St. Louis, Vince Bantu brings the same thing to every room: an academic’s exactness and a pastor’s heart. His talks and lectures don’t just convey information — they invite people into a bigger, older, more honest story of the Christian faith than most have ever been offered.
Vince has appeared on a wide range of podcasts, reflecting both his academic depth and his accessibility as a communicator. Highlights include:
Beyond his books, Vince has contributed chapters to volumes published by Cambridge University Press, Palgrave Macmillan, Yale University Press, and Wipf & Stock — a body of work that shows both the depth and breadth of his research.
In 2024, Vince appeared in the History Channel documentary series Holy Marvels, participating in episodes in both the “Crucifixion Relics” and “Sacred Undergrounds” installments — bringing his expertise in early Christian history to a broad public audience. Additional interviews and recorded lectures are available on YouTube, covering topics ranging from the global roots of the Christian faith to the connection between race, theology, and American history.
Vince has lectured at Oxford University, Princeton, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dumbarton Oaks, and a range of HBCUs and state universities across the United States and internationally. The through-line across all of it is an ability to make complex historical and scriptural material feel alive and relevant — not just to academics, but to anyone wrestling with questions of faith, identity, and history. Vince is available for speaking engagements, university lectures, conference presentations, and community events. Get in touch to discuss bringing him to your audience.
