A. (Jerry) Rodgers, born 1925 in
Roanoke, IL, born again 1953 in San Francisco, is a veteran of World War II
and the Korean War, happily married husband in an interracial marriage, father
or stepfather of five, grandfather of seven, and great-grandfather of three.
Raised the son of a Methodist preacher; after leaving home and studying
philosophy at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago he professed agnosticism until his conversion at the age of 27. His
conversion experience made his family think he had lost his mind, and they had
him committed to mental hospitals for several years after his discharge from
the Navy in 1953. His story is an archetypical example of Anton Boisen’s thesis in his Exploration of the Inner World
(1936) in which he examined the mirror-image relationship of mental illness and
religious experience; and it throws a glaring new light on Schweitzer’s Quest
of the Historical Jesus, initiated at the beginning of the last century.lihat lebih sedikit
