A Giant Has Fallen
03.29.2004 by Tim Reed
On Thursday Dr. Lewis Foster died. He was 82 years old. An icon is gone, and for the first time in the history of CBC it is without a Foster. I didn’t know Dr. Foster very well I was formally introduced to him once and talked to him once after that. My dad took a great many classes with him. He said Dr. Foster had a dignity that could fill a room. By the time I met him his mind had started to slip, but you could still see glimpses of a great mind and a great dignity.
Dr. Faust visited him right before he passed away and told him how much he meant to CBC. Dr. Foster replied “I’m glad my life meant something.” I hope when I inevitably take a dirt nap I can go with that much dignity.
Go read Luke and/or Acts in the NIV, he was one of the primary translators of those two books, it’ll be a fitting tribute to both his work and his ideals.
