I knew Dr. Eckstein when I attended Michigan Christian College in the mid 80's. He was a true Bible scholar and a wonderful man of God. His wife Mildred was a lovely lady as well as hi daughter Nan. I would love to talk to Nan again. She is such a great gal.

I have known Stephen for many years. I was not a student of his but I always looked up to him as one who contributed to my basic understanding of the scriptures. I was trying to reconnect after over 3 decades of loosing contact. Stephen significantly contributed to the lives of thousands of students. He was not a person who called attention to himself. He was a humble person but not self degrading. I am surprised that there are not hundreds of people closer to Stephen than I was not sharing their memories here.
My relationship with Stephen, like thousands, was a relationship of admiration. Once you knew Stephen and his personal scriptural insights you could never forget him.
In the physical body of Christ we have lost many in the last 20 years who were giants of faith but never became famous.
Stephen is at rest today awaiting "that day".

I met Stephen in Michigan in the mid 80's. Never knew anyone who knew the scripture as he did. Would like to reconnect with Brian and Estelle if possible.

Steve Eckstein was one of the greatest servant of Jesus Christ that I have ever known. He was one who challenged his bible students in his classes at the Church of Christ Bible Chair in Portales, New Mexico, located at Eastern New Mexico University, to learn to think for themselves. He always would say to those searching for truth, to not just take his word for what he was teaching but to study for themselves, making sure they would accept the truth of God's word based on their own study. He taught literally thousands of students, and endeared himself to them as a humble servant of Jesus Christ. I can envision the joy he will enjoy in heaven as he personally will relate to Abraham, the Apostle Paul, Jesus Christ, etc., etc., and all the saved throughout eternity. I thank God that I was privileged to study at his feet, and be in contact with him for over fifty years. He will be greatly missed but he is now at home where he always wanted to be.
