A Celebration of Robert W. Jenson

Robert W. Jenson has been called “the greatest American theologian since Jonathan Edwards.” The author of 25 books, hundreds of articles, co-founder of the journals Dialog and Pro Ecclesia, and co-founder of the Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology, Jenson held positions at Luther College, the University of Oxford, Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary, St. Olaf College, and the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton.

On October 5, the Center for Barth Studies is hosting an event to showcase The Robert W. Jenson papers. Reflections will be offered to celebrate the life and legacy of the late Robert W. Jenson, both in the academy and the church. To learn more about the Robert W. Jenson papers: https://barth.ptsem.edu/research/robert-w-jenson-papers/
