Walking Through the Valley: Facing Sickness and Suffering
January 23, 2008
Dr. David Calhoun, Professor of Church History, Covenant Theological Seminary, speaks from personal experience on sickness and suffering.
Dr. Calhoun, a cancer survivor of over 20 years, shares a biblical perspective on sickness and suffering.
In 1987, Dr. Calhoun was diagnosed with Mantle cell lymphoma, an aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that historically has been resistant to current standard chemotherapeutic approaches. Despite response rates to many regimens of 50% to 70%, the disease normally progresses after chemotherapy with a median survival time of approximately 2.5 to 4 years.

“John Bunyan…an English Baptist pastor whose influence, through The Pilgrim’s Progress, could be said to have shaped the psyche of the entire English-speaking world….David Calhoun, who has written the definitive two-volume history of Princeton Seminary, has brought together a beautiful book that tells us about Bunyan’s life as well as analysing his books, his theology, and his place in history.”
