Memory Eternal
Many of my blogosphere friends already knew this...
Dr Jaroslav Pelikan falls asleep in the Lord
Christ is Risen!
We have just learned that our seminary trustee and friend, Dr Jaroslav
Pelikan, fell asleep in the Lord this afternoon, Saturday, May 13
around 2:30pm after a long battle with lung cancer.
Recognized by many as the most noted church historian of our times, Dr
Pelikan made St Vladimir’s his parish home upon his reception into the
Orthodox Church along with his wife in 1998.
Memory Eternal!
*****************
His 5 volume Christian Tradition: the Development of Christian Doctrines
(I only read 2) were very helpful for me when I first started this
journey. Even more compelling was that he wrote this series and,
several years afterwards, converted to Orthodoxy. To his
credit he never engaged (as far as I can tell) in "former church
tradition bashing". He humbly went on doing what he did best -
write books on the history of Christianity.
Someone on my homeschooling yahoo group posted a wonderful 2003
interview with Jaralov Pelikan here (the reason for my blog entry
today  .)
