Yesterday Jordan, Iain, & I went to the Evangelical Library in London to hear a lecture by Paul Helm, pictured left, a noted Christian philosopher and theologian and former professor at Regent College, King's College London, and University of Liverpool. It was great to finally meet him; we've been e-mailing for a couple years, but until yesterday we had never met face-to-face.After the lecture, Jordan & I reflected: Iain's not even eight months old, but he's already gotten around the academic circles quite a bit. He's attended lectures by and met both Paul Helm and Quentin Skinner. He's visited with and even been held by numerous well-known scholars in both the US and the UK, including Robert Reymond, Cal Beisner, Palmer Robertson, D. James Kennedy, and Knud Haakonssen. He's been prayed for by Ligon Duncan, Andrew McGowan, and Terry Johnson. He's spent much time with numerous up-and-coming scholars at Knox and Sussex. He was even baptized by Warren Gage. If he keeps this up, he's going to be pretty well connected in the academic world!
But for right now he's bawling in the other room . . . I'd best go take care of him before Mama comes home.
