The Paul Hiebert Research Project seeks to embody the vision of Paul G. Hiebert (1932-2007), a long time faculty member at Trinity, for engaging in missiological research that makes a difference in the academy, in our churches and mission organizations, and in the secular world. The project provides a unique opportunity for ministers, missionaries, professionals, and academics in various fields to access the life and thought of Dr. Hiebert and to apply his invaluable insights to their research and various fields of ministry.

Paul G. Hiebert was an outstanding Christian scholar whose commitment to the Gospel and warm generosity endeared him to mission practitioners and missiologists across the spectrum of Christian traditions. The Paul G. Hiebert Mission Research Initiative is more than a tribute to a remarkable person whose contributions to missiology are widely recognized. This Initiative preserves Hiebert’s ministry and makes it accessible to current and future generations.

This project is a well-designed and purposeful extension of the work of Paul Hiebert in promoting the value of anthropological understanding for missionary purpose. My father, Dr. Hiebert, invested heavily in his students during his lifetime. He would have been deeply honored to see that investment continue.
