Dr. Anderson served many years as Professor and Chairman of the Philosophy and Religion Department at Wilson College, and is an ordained minister and leader in the Presbyterian Church. He was privileged to have been one of the last doctoral candidates of the eminent Reformed Theologian, Karl Barth, at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Dr. Anderson’s retrospective, An American Scholar Recalls Karl Barth’s Golden Years as a Teacher (1958-1964), which was published in 2013 by Mellen Press, drew much from the present material.
