REMEMBERING DR. PAUL HIEBERT

Abstract

Dr. Paul Hiebert was one of the leading global Christians of the past century: missiologist, anthropologist, teacher of those who will "teach the nations" (Matthew 28:20), mentor to countless leaders in Christ-centered higher education throughout the world, thinker, encourager, husband, father, friend, follower of Jesus. He was one of those all-too-rare people who continued to learn and grow throughout his life. Thus, although he grew older physically, he always seemed young in his vitality, energy, and passion for God. In these past few years, to be in Paul's presence was to have the experience of being with one who was close to God.
