Congratulations to Festschrift Honoree Doug Weaver

Douglas Weaver

NABPR rightly honored Rev. Dr. C. Douglas Weaver with a festschrift in 2020. Weaver’s teaching and research has expanded our understanding of Baptist identities, diversifying narratives, and complicating research methodologies to tell truer stories. Contributors represent Weaver’s commitment to diversity in his academic mentorship and service, demonstrating how Weaver has helped budding and even established scholars widen their intellectual imaginations, informed by intersectional justice consciousness. The collection also demonstrates how Weaver’s pastoral investment in his graduate students has shaped the landscape of Baptist higher education nationally, and globally.
