The Wade Center's journal VII has been an ongoing source of valuable scholarship since its inception in 1980. Co-founded by Clyde S. Kilby, Barbara Reynolds and Beatrice Batson, this peer-reviewed academic journal encourages critical assessment of the Wade authors’ works as well as greater understanding of their thought and lives.
