Greg Laughery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Gregory J. Laughery is an American /Swiss theologian. For the past twenty years he has been associated with L'abri Fellowship and is currently living and teaching at L'Abri in Huémoz, Switzerland.
[edit] Background
His nominally Catholic and then Lutheran family lived in an apartment just around the corner from the soon to become famous Haight-Ashbury district. In the days of 1952, the Haight was a quiet, fairly traditional, racially mixed, family neighborhood. Some years later, the family moved to a small house some four or five blocks away. Laughery was educated in a Lutheran school for eight years. After being thrown out he attended public schools, but eventually was again asked to leave before completing the eleventh grade. [source?]
Eventually making his way to Europe in 1980, Laughery studied with Dr. Francis Schaeffer at L’Abri Fellowship, before going on the take a theology degree at the London School of Theology, a license and a specialization diploma in New Testament at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and a PhD at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. Laughery has continued to publish in the area of biblical hermeneutics and has been particularly lauded for his work on the French philosopher/theologian Paul Ricoeur.
