Whoever Is in Christ Is a New Creation, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20

Dr. Eduardo Echeverria

Eduardo was born in Mexico but his family moved to New York when he was little. He was baptized and catechized a Catholic but he never thought the Church was relevant in his live. While on a vacation in Europe, when he was 20, he was introduced to L’Abri Fellowship and Francis Schaeffer, in Switzerland. It was here that he committed his life to Christ. Coming back to America, he became a committed Calvinist. In 1981, he earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the Free University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Though he was a Calvinist, Eduardo was always looking for something more in worship which he found missing. Because of this he became an Anglican, while he was an Evangelical in his piety. Wishing to have a coherent grasp of the truth, he read his way back to the Catholic Church and was received back in 1992. Dr. Esceverria is Associate Professor of Philosophy, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, in Detroit.
