Tribute to a Cleveland Philosopher

Ronald Nash, who has long been one of my favorite Christian philosophers/apologists, died March 10, 2006. Dr. Nash, a long-time professor of philosophy at Western Kentucky University was the quintessential Christian gentleman: knowledgeable, well-read, willing to confront his opponents, tenacious in the defense of the faith.

Nash was a prodigious writer, authoring dozens of books, including some of my favorites like Faith and Reason and The Gospel and the Greeks. He also wrote excellent works on history (The Meaning of History), economics, and government. One fellow apologist has said that if you ever needed a "Life Line" on the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" you'd want Dr. Nash; his vast knowledge was unparalleled.

His seminary students have said that Nash was outspoken and animated in his teachings. He wanted his students to learn the truths of Christianity and how to articulate them and his passion showed in his work. Indeed, Nash's passion for the Gospel came through in his occasional tears when speaking on the subject.

As another interesting fact, I recently learned that Nash was from the hometown of my own parents: Cleveland, Ohio. He and his brilliant contributions to the church will be sorely missed.
