To the campus and community from:

It is with great sadness that I share with you that Dr. Donald Bloesch, Professor of Theology, Emeritus, died on Tuesday, August 24, at Mercy Medical Center, Dubuque.

Dr. Bloesch, who held degrees from Elmhurst College, Chicago Theological Seminary, University of Chicago, and Doane College, taught at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary from 1957 to 1992. He pursued postdoctoral work at the Universities of Oxford, Tubingen, and Basel.

A renowned teacher and scholar, he wrote over 30 books, most significantly Essentials of Evangelical Theology and Christian Foundations. He was a minister in the United Church of Christ. Hailed as one of the English world's foremost evangelical theologians, Dr. Bloesch touched the lives of countless individuals through his teaching, lectures, and publications.

Arrangements are pending.
