Meredith Kline, requiem in pacem

Those of you who travel in Reformed and Presbyterian circles will no doubt be familiar with the work of pastor and theologian Meredith Kline. I just received word that he died last night, and so I thought I would pass the word along through this blog. Here is the email I received:


Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We grieve with the Kline family at the loss of Dr. Meredith Kline last night. Dr. Kline died peacefully after a long illness. Though he is famous for his Old Testament Biblical theology, he is also known by many in the church for his gracious love and gentle spirit, and his love for the gospel of Christ. There will be a service in memory of Dr. Kline on Wednesday April 18 at 11 a.m. at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family (at the request of Dr. Kline) requests that donations be made to Faith Promise care of First Presbyterian Church.

Pray for Mrs. Kline (Grace) and for the whole family at this time of sadness even as we rejoice in the grace shown us in Jesus Christ.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor David
