QUINTESENTIAL GLOBAL SOUL

Abstract

A voice mail this month informed me that my good friend and mentor Dr. Paul G. Hiebert had finally succumbed to his battle with cancer. After hearing the news I slipped into my study and pulled down a number of his books and browsed their pages. I was again reminded of Paul’s great insight and wisdom which he shared so capably and humbly. In my mind, Paul was the exemplary Christian scholar! He had a remarkable ability to generate theory, articulate it in writing and engage his students in its application. But it was his manner of being, that was even more attractive! Paul was indeed a godly gentleman and a scholar! On both accounts he showed the way to those of us who were privileged to study under him or live with him.
