A biblical scholar often quoted by Evangelical pastors and teachers has died, according to his family. Warren Wiersbe passed away on Thursday, May 2. He was 89.
Wiersbe wrote more than 150 books dating back to the 1950s. He was referred to as “the pastor’s pastor” because his Bible commentaries and study aides were used so widely around the world. His books were translated into dozens of languages.
Following his work at Youth for Christ, Wiersbe served at Calvary Baptist Church in Covington, Kentucky, from 1961 until 1971. In addition to pastoring, he worked as a seminary professor, radio Bible teacher, and writer. More than 4,000,000 copies of his books have been sold....
