Douglas Jackson

To the family of Brother Jackson, I must say he was an awesome man.I don't know him but to read about his life and his love for all people is what we need today.

Doug Jackson was a professor of mine at Perkins School of Theology in the 1958-59 school year. I remember him as a brilliant man. He did not use notes when he lectured.
