    Today on The Pursuit: Paul Lim

     

    Dr. Lim teaches at Vanderbilt Divinity School & the College of Arts & Science. He has earned 4 degrees from schools like Yale University and the University of Cambridge. He is an award-winning historian of Reformation Europe and has delivered papers and lectures all around the world. But despite all of those impeccable accolades, Paul found himself teaching me theology, during my years at Gordon Conwell Seminary. But as you’ll hear, no matter where you find yourself in your career, sometimes it’s hard to shake some of the formative experiences of childhood.
