A Renaissance
Missiologist

During the 1980's I had the very special privilege of
assisting Dr. Paul; Hiebert as he taught the course "Cross-Cultural
Missiology" in the D.Min. in
Missiology program at Denver Seminary.
As I listened to Paul teach and answer questions from the
class---usually 15-20 students---the concept that kept coming into my mind was
"here is a person with a renaissance mind teaching missiology."
Paul's presentations were never narrow---his thinking always embraced the whole
academic spectrum. The only term that I found to fit him was "here
is a renaissance missiologist." I have never had the privilege of
knowing another teacher like him.
