ESSAYS ON THE OCCASION OF THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DIVINITY
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Wake Forest University School of Divinity, this volume presents a signature collection of essays authored by distinguished members of our community. Framed by the School’s founding commitment to justice, reconciliation, and compassion, these contributions offer critical reflections on the past, discerning engagement with the present, and visionary insight into the future of theological education. Together, these essays bear witness to a quarter-century of graduate theological education rooted in justice, reconciliation, and compassion, and testify to the School’s ongoing commitment to critical ecumenical inquiry, prophetic public witness, and faithful leadership in a pluralistic world.
These essays do more than commemorate. They call us together, anchor us in our shared purpose, and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing work of inviting reflection, inspiring action, and offering a compelling vision of who we are—and who we are becoming.
