Erwin Lutzer was born in a town near Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, the last child of Gustav and Wanda Lutzer’s five children. He graduated from Winnipeg Bible College (B.Th.)[1] and then attended Dallas Theological Seminary, in Dallas, Texas. In 1967, he graduated from Dallas (M.Th.)[1] with honors and as president of the student body.
While in Dallas, Lutzer became acquainted with a young woman named Rebecca Hickman, who was attending Dallas Bible College. They were married, in 1969, and have three married daughters and seven grandchildren.[2]

He then entered the Ph.D. program at Loyola to pursue a doctorate in Philosophy.[3] In subsequent years, Lutzer has received two honorary doctorates, an LL.D. from Simon Greenleaf School of Law and a D.D. from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary.[1]
Moody Church
Since January 1980, Lutzer has been the senior pastor of Moody Church, in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. The church and its ministries have grown significantly under his leadership, leading to the construction of a new Christian Life Center to complement the existing 75-year-old building.[4]
