A. Hodge Prize in Systematic Theology At the 57th Annual meeting of The Wesleyan Theological Society at Duke Divinity School in March of 2022, Drury was called "one of the two greatest young minds in the Wesleyan tradition" (along with Jason Vickers) by Dr. Cheryl Bridges Johns, during informal comments after her plenary address.
