Description

Jerram Barrs is Professor of Christian Studies and Contemporary Culture at Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri. A student of the late Francis Schaeffer, Professor Barrs joined the seminary faculty after eighteen years with L'Abri Fellowship in England, where he also served as a pastor in the International Presbyterian Church. As Founder and Senior Scholar-in-Residence of the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute, Jerram is widely respected for the breadth of his teaching interests, and he is especially known for the sensitivity he brings toward those outside of the Christian faith. This volume is an expression of thanks for Jerram's life and ministry and his founding of the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute thirty years ago. In its pages, former students, current colleagues, and gifted friends from various institutions and ministries, lend their talents to unpacking a variety of themes broadly reflective of Jerram's own interests. These chapters touch spiritual formation, cultural engagement, the Christian's embrace of the arts, and apologetics and outreach.
