Meet the Seven Authors featured at the Wade Center
The Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College is a tribute to the importance of the literary, historical, and Christian heritage of these writers. All seven were British authors who blended faith, intellect, and imagination. Through service to those who engage with the Wade's programs and resources, and through the words of its seven authors, the Wade Center strives to continue their legacy.
