When theologian, professor and writer William Placher died in 2008, he left behind a legacy of generosity, education and mission — and books. Lots of books.
That legacy — and those books — will live on at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, Egypt (ETSC). Placher posthumously donated a large portion of his library to the seminary, making his gift the largest gift of books from overseas the seminary has received in the past 15 years. And because the library came from a working theologian, the books received are current, relevant and fill a significant deficit in the library’s holdings.
