Loss of a leader

Dr. Harold L. Willmington, Liberty’s longest-serving faculty member and a notable leader in the field of biblical studies, died at age 87 Monday, Oct. 15, following his battle with
cancer. 

Willmington will leave a lasting legacy because of the decades he spent creating accessible and in-depth study tools for those seeking to delve deeper into scripture. With over 20 editions of his Willmington’s Guide to the Bible, years spent teaching in what is now The Willmington School of the Bible, and Project SWORD — Scripture Wisdom Organized and Rightly Divided — Willmington worked tirelessly to bring the intricacies of God’s Word to those who have a hunger to consume it. 

He is survived by his wife Sue, his son Matthew and other family. Online at liberty.edu/champion you can read a profile of Dr. Willmington’s life in the Nov. 7, 2017 issue.
