Jonathan K. Paulien (born 1949) is a Seventh-day Adventist theologian.

Paulien has a BA from Atlantic Union College, and an M.Div. and Ph.D. from Andrews University. His doctoral thesis, Decoding Revelation’s Trumpets: Literary Allusions and Interpretation of Revelation 8:7–12 was completed in 1987. Prior to his Ph.D., he worked as a Seventh-day Adventist church pastor for several years in New York City.

He was professor of New Testament Interpretation at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. He spent over two decades at Andrews.^[1] In 2007, he became dean of the Faculty of Religion at Loma Linda University, a position he held until 2019.

He and his wife Pamella have three children.

Paulien stated he has found material on the "stages of faith" to be "the most life-changing material I have ever learned or shared."^[2]

Paulien writes primarily for a Seventh-day Adventist audience. The majority of his books and articles have been published by non-academic publishing houses and magazines owned by the Seventh-day Adventist church. His scholarly articles also have been largely published by Seventh-day Adventist journals.
