Tim Keller Tribute to Jack Miller
Kathy and I went to Gordon-Conwell Seminary together in the early 70’s and there studied under Richard Lovelace, whose teaching on revival and renewal had profoundly moved us and changed us personally. But we didn’t know how to translate it into local church ministry until we came under the influence of Jack and Rose Marie Miller during our stay in Philadelphia and New Life Church from 1984 to 1989. Then we began to see how gospel renewal fleshed itself out in preaching, worship, evangelism, missions and social justice. Lovelace taught the theory, but Jack showed us here the practice, and this ignited a desire in me to start a church and ministry where I could do what I learned at New Life.
There would never have been Redeemer Church in New York City without the impact of Jack and Rose Marie on our lives and ministry.
