Covenant Institute Symposium Presents - Dr. Jerry Root, Associate Director of the Billy Graham Center's Institute for Strategic Evangelism at Wheaton College and a C.S. Lewis Scholar.
Jerry was born and raised in southern California. He grew up in a Christian family but did not become a Christian until his freshman year at Whittier College. He was deeply influenced by the ministries of Campus Crusade for Christ and Granada Heights Friends Church in La Mirada, California. Jerry's sister Kathy introduced him to the writings of C.S. Lewis while he was still an undergraduate.
He pastored three different churches over twenty-three years. Nineteen of those years were invested in student ministry, and for four years he served as a senior pastor. While pastoring he taught courses in Philosophy and on C.S. Lewis for ten years at the College of Du Page in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. He has served on the Adjunct Faculty at Biola University since 1991, teaching courses on Lewis. He has been teaching at Wheaton College since 1996.
