Memories and Condolences
for Allen Verhey

To the family of Dr. Verhey:
I did not know Allen Verhey, except through his book that I am reading now, The Great Reversal. I asked for it at my library because of its title, not knowing what a scholar Dr. Verhey was. Nor did I know that he had died. Today reading one third of the way through the book, I wanted to know more about this author. I googled him and now have arrived at this website.
I want you, his family, to know how Allen Verhey lives on in his life work. I am deeply impressed by his scholarship, his vocabulary, his organized thoughts, and his principled faith. Though much of his book is over my head, I follow his logic and am inspired.
I am a second-career pastor in The United Methodist Church. My dad was a professor too, at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley. My grandfather taught at Boston University School of Theology. Ethics has been a topic at our kitchen table always.
I offer my genuine condolences and tribute. I wish I could have studied with this man.

Dr. Verhey was a great teacher. It was my honor to take several religion classes from him while he served at Hope College. I read and appreciated many of his books. My favorite was his commentary on the catechism.

Dr. VerHey was one of my favorite professors at Hope College in the early 80's. He was a humble man who challenged us all to thoughtfully defend our convictions. My sympathy to the family.
