Dr. David M. Scholer reaches the finish line…

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Dr. David M. Scholer, a true giant in Christian scholarship and generosity of spirit has passed away…he will be missed. I wish there were more scholars with his insight, temperament and willingness to teach in this world. I had the honor of taking one class from him during my time at Fuller Theological Seminary. I enjoyed it very much and learned a great deal.

His influence on the future of the church through his teaching is incalculable, especially his empowerment of women in the ministry. Well done!!!

Let me invite you to share a story about how Dr. Scholer positively impacted you here. It is good for students to thank those they learn from! I’ll add my own story tonight (hopefully).

I often speak of beauty, but it would be difficult for me to think of apt example of beauty of spirit than Dr. Scholer.

Tributes and obituaries to Dr. Scholer are popping up all over. Here are a few:
