Professor of Church History and Reformation Studies Carter Lindberg, 1937 – 2024
The Boston University School of Theology announces the passing in April 2024 of former professor Carter Lindberg, who served the School for 28 years as Professor of Church History and Reformation Studies. Professor Lindberg long pursued his passions for teaching and research at Susquehanna University and the College of the Holy Cross before coming to Boston University in 1974. He was a father, grandfather, spouse, talented craftsman and outdoorsman, and an excellent listener.
“A fine human being and friend, Carter Lindberg will be sorely missed by all who knew him.”
“C
Professor of the History of Christianity Rady Roldán-Figueroa (‘05) was a student of Dr. Lindberg, and shares that “Carter was a friend, a mentor, and teacher. He believed in me as a scholar and also understood that there was a horizon ahead of me that I could not see, but he knew it was there for me. I will always be grateful for the many conversations we had and for his unconditional support.”
A joint memorial service with his late wife is being planned by his family for the middle of June 2024; details can be found in Dr. Lindberg’s obituary.
