 Have you ever met Cliff Williams? There is something about sitting in the orange-flowered chair he keeps in his office that makes you want to forget about time and talk. He is a listener. Cliff, who has taught philosophy at Trinity College for twenty-two years, estimates he has taught three thousand Trinity students. He is the author of The Life of the Mind, Singleness of Heart: Restoring the Divided Soul, and Free Will and Determinism (which has just entered its ninth printing), among others. But last December, through Indiana University Press, he released a different sort of book.
Last spring, on a Wednesday morning almost eight months into his freshman year at Trinity College, Aaron Kauffman woke up feeling dizzy. His head and body ached. The football player from Battle Creek, Michigan, toughed it out for the next couple of days until Friday, when he had trouble standing. Aaron went to see a doctor, who thought it was a bad flu. Aaron agreed, not thinking to tell the doctor about a knot the size of a tennis ball on his left calf.  Felix Nyika had $3,000 and a desire to go to seminary. He had just sold his home in Blantyre, Malawi, with a plan to come to the United States and study at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. But, as an international student, Felix was required by governmental agencies to document his ability to pay tuition and living costs before he could come. Felix and his church began to pray.
Dr. Doug Sweeney discusses his new book on Edwards in an interview with TEDS alumnus Rev. Steve Farish (MA ’02). by Bryan N. Maier, PsyD During the spring of 2001, I received a call from a pastor asking me to articulate the position of the Pastoral Counseling and Psychology Department at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School on Theophostic Ministries. Although I responded that our department is diverse and does not typically take a formal "position" on issues, I had to admit that I myself did not know enough about TPM to be of any help.
