RIP: Theologian Pelikan Dies

Yale professor Jaroslav Pelikan, one of the world's foremost scholars of the history of Christianity, has died of lung cancer, his son said Monday. He was 82.

I owe him a debt of gratitude: his work on Christian doctrinal history helped me through theological training and beyond. I loved his clarity and comprehensiveness; not an easy combination. May light perpetual shine upon him.
