GROOTHUIS NAMED FIRST DISTINGUISHED UNIVERSITY RESEARCH PROFESSOR Cornerstone University has appointed Dr. Douglas Groothuis as its first distinguished university research professor of apologetics and Christian worldview for fall 2024. The rank of distinguished university research professor is Cornerstone University’s highest professional honor that recognizes extraordinary achievement in scholarship, teaching and service influence. Dr. Groothuis is the university’s first recipient of this designation. “Dr. Groothuis’ academic scholarship, teaching and mentoring, publishing and service achievements in advancing apologetics and Christian worldview are extraordinary,” said Dr. Gerson Moreno- Riaño, president of Cornerstone University. “He is an exemplary Christian public intellectual and scholar. Cornerstone University welcomes our esteemed colleague who is a passionate follower and Dr. Douglas Groothuis, Distinguished University Research Professor defender of Jesus Christ. Dr. Groothuis will help elevate a Biblical, orthodox, Christian worldview as essential to the pursuit of all knowledge, truth and human flourishing. This is the most essential distinctive of a Cornerstone University Christ-centered education.” Inspired by Francis Schaeffer’s book “The God Who Is There,” Groothuis has dedicated his academic career and life to making the case for Christianity and the significance of a Biblical, orthodox Christian worldview for all of life. “I am honored, encouraged, challenged and humbled by my appointment to serve at Cornerstone University under the leadership of President Moreno-Riaño,” said Dr. Groothuis. “Cornerstone University has a rich and long history of Christian faithfulness and is now poised to edify its students and influence the world for Jesus Christ even more in the days ahead. I am grateful to become part of this exciting and wide-ranging educational mission under the Lordship of Christ.” Dr. Groothuis holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy (University of Oregon, 1993) and most recently served as professor of philosophy at Denver Seminary where he headed the Christian apologetics master’s degree program. He is the author of 19 books, over 30 academic articles, and is a highly soughtafter speaker. Cameron Bertuzzi © 2018 INFLUENCE | WINTER 2024 11
