Earl Dwight Radmacher

Doc Rad, was a frequent presence at the church I attended in Oakland and also at Campus Crusade for Christ events in the 1970s. His passion for Christ, and for young Christians was phenomenal. I'm in ministry today 45 years later in no small part because of his vision, energy, and love for Jesus.

I have only recently learned of Dr. Earls life work more recently as a transformation that was not tranparent took place in our church. I am so grateful for his lifes work. I do not understand the theology. I simply love Jesus with ALL my heart. Thank you for sharing him with us. Truly a heart for the gospel.

Remembering Dr. Radmacher with a grateful heart. He was a great man of God. I can still hear his beautiful voice begin class by singing "Amazing love, how can it be that Thou, O God, should die for me." "Dr. R." was the real deal!

I had the privilege and blessing of meeting Dr. Radmacher years ago, probably as a result of my brother being a student at Western. I was impressed with his kindness and graciousness and continued to experience that whenever I was in contact with him. May God bring much comfort and peace to his extended family during this grieving season.

In 1967 Dr. Radmacher preached at the Church Of The Open Door in Los Angeles. I was considering seminaries. After the service I knew the Lord's plan for me was Western Seminary. Earl's passion for the Scriptures, gift in Biblical exposition and especially personal interest in the lives of his students helped prepared me for Pastoral ministry. Looking back over the 42 years the Lord has given me to Pastor, I praise Him for the foundation Earl and Western Seminary built...

So Blessed to be a Nelson for the launch of the NKJV Study Bible,to host you at speaking engagements in it's promotion. A precious friend and greatly admired and Loved. Heaven is Rejoicing.

Earl and I studied together at Bob Jones University (1950-53) planned, personally funded and executed a 13 week series of evangelistic meetings in Scotland, England, Wales and Germany during the summer of 1952. In order to accomplish this, Earl and I combined financial resources and lived out of "one common pocketbook" for a whole year so that we could return and resume our studies at the University. Great friendships were forged during those years! Art Beals

Dr. Radmacher made a huge impact on my life as a young seminarian at Western Baptist Seminary. His Hermeneutics class was an unforgettable experience. He was a tireless tour de force for our Lord and Savior whom he served for so many decades. Enter into the joy of your reward, Dr. Radmacher.
