Dr. David Edwin Harrell, Jr.

RSVP today for the free noontime lunch presentation of our 2017 Friend of the Year Award on Monday, Sept. 18, at ACU Library, 3rd floor, near the bay window. This year, we honor Dr. David Edwin Harrell, Jr., Breeden Eminent Scholar of Southern History and professor emeritus at Auburn University.

A leading historian of the Stone-Campbell Movement, as well the broader religious landscape of America over the past two centuries, Harrell’s work also has addressed the expansion of global Christianity through both his scholarship and his service as a missionary among Churches of Christ in India.

With the recent donation of Harrell’s personal and professional papers to ACU, we will celebrate the inauguration of the Harrell Collection of Global Religious History.
