Praise for Andrew Walker

 

“The appointment of Andrew Walker to the Ethics and Public Policy Center is a wonderful development and signals that the future of the evangelical witness in America will remain strong. Andrew is a leading voice in his generation, and he will serve evangelicals well in this role with both the tenacity of mind and graciousness of spirit.” – Daniel Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Andrew Walker is one of the most promising evangelical public intellectuals of his generation. His addition to the EPPC team strengthens the think tank for the most difficult and challenging era yet for social and religious conservatism.” – Rod Dreher, author, Live Not by Lies

“The Ethics and Public Policy Center has again hit the bull’s eye, drawing to its ranks Andrew Walker, one of our nation’s leading young evangelical thinkers. Dr. Walker is in the forefront of reviving the tradition of natural law theory among American Protestant intellectuals. He joins EPPC’s outstanding Catholic and Jewish thinkers in a truly ecumenical and interfaith alliance of scholars devoted to the harmony—indeed unity—of faith and reason as the ‘two wings on which the human spirit ascends to contemplation of the truth.’” – Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, Princeton University

“Andrew Walker is among my most trusted counselors for engaging our culture in a faithful, gracious way. His keen insight is matched with a pastoral grace and a missionary instinct. It is the duty of Christian intellectuals to translate the faith transmitted once for all to the saints into the language of the culture, and Andrew Walker leads the way in doing that.” – J. D. Greear, President of the Southern Baptist Convention

“Andrew combines a sharp focus on the cultural issues conservatives face with a steady temperament that is both bold and kind. His theological faithfulness and academic heft will serve the Ethics and Public Policy Center as few evangelical scholars can.” – Katie McCoy, Assistant Professor of Theology in Women’s Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary 

“Andrew Walker represents the kind of thinker that Protestant Christianity needs: thoughtful, gracious, and engaging; charitable when he can be, forthright when he needs to be. More specifically, he is an important voice in the growing number of Protestants interested in natural law. His addition to EPPC is good news for the think tank in particular and excellent news for the Christian constituency in general.” – Carl R. Trueman, Grove City College
