The well-known teacher and theologian has died at the untimely age of 60. I only knew him through his books, but he was by all accounts a wonderful teacher and a good Christian man. He spent the vast majority of his career at tiny Wabash College in Indiana; as a leading light of Yale-style “postliberal” theology he undoubtedly could’ve moved to a “better” school if he’d wanted to. He was also a long-time contributor to the Christian Century; you can read a sampling of his work from CC archived at “Religion Online” (scroll down).
