WINONA LAKE – As a part of the Lyceum Series on Faith and the Academy, Grace College will host Dr. Brad Gundlach at 7 p.m. March 12 in the Westminster East Room. He will be giving a talk titled “Religion and the Evolution Question: A Historian’s Perspective” about his recently published book “Process and Providence: The Evolution Question.” The event is open to the public and refreshments will be provided. Gundlach specializes in American intellectual, cultural and religious history and enjoys teaching in world civilization, church history and the philosophy and methods of history. He started teaching at Trinity International University after teaching at Wheaton College and Wheaton Graduate School. He is the author of “Process and Providence: The Evolution Question at Princeton, 1845-1929,” and is currently at work on a biography of Princeton theologian B. B. Warfield. He currently serves as the director of the division of humanities and as book review editor for Fides et Historia, the journal of the Conference on Faith and History. “We are thrilled to have Dr. Gundlach deliver our Lyceum Lecture this year,” said Dr. Jared Burkholder, chair of the history and political science department and director of Faith, Learning & Scholarship at Grace College. “Christians so often see the creation-evolution issue as a matter only of biblical interpretation. Yet, every area of debate has a history, and when we examine issues like this from a historical perspective, it helps us frame our discussions about the Bible within a cultural context and allows us to see things from a broader vantage point. Brad is a sensitive and faithful Christian who understands this history and is well-suited to unpack for us the history of Christian perspectives on the ‘evolution question.’”
