abstract
  • Mouw was educated at Houghton College from which he received the B.A. degree. He then studied for the M.Div degree at Western Theological Seminary. He was awarded the M.A. from the University of Alberta, and his PhD. degree from the University of Chicago. Mouw was Professor of Christian philosophy at Calvin College for seventeen years. He has also served as a visiting professor to the Free University of Amsterdam. He was appointed Professor of Christian Philosophy and Ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary in 1985. In 1993 he was elected president of Fuller Theological Seminary. During the 1970s Mouw was noted as an innovative evangelical thinker and activist at Calvin College alongside of Stephen Monsma and Paul Henry. Mouw was identified by political scientist Robert Booth Fowler as being one of the important voices in what Fowler dubbed "reform-oriented evangelicals". For example Mouw was among several evangelicals involved in the 1973 Conference of Evangelicals for Social Concern, and was a signatory to that conference's declaratory statement "An Historic Moment for Biblical Social Concern". Mouw's concerns for social justice issues is reflected in his membership in various organizations such as the International Justice Mission, International Center for Religion and Diplomacy, and Christians for Biblical Equality. He has written extensively on Christian social justice matters, as well as on philosophical topics. He has been a keen advocate of interpreting contemporary culture and suggesting fresh avenues for Christian engagement with culture. He has also urged evangelicals to have a deeper appreciation of their own heritage, particularly in their hymnology and fundamentalist values. In 2000 he delivered the Stoeb Lectures in which he reanalysed the theological concept of common grace. This topic has had a history of debate within Protestant circles generally, and among Calvinist and Arminian theologians. Mouw's lectures generated a written response from the conservative Calvinist David Engelsma, and they have also held a public debate with each other over the subject.
