Erwin R. Gane (1931–2021) was a religion professor, pastor, and former editor of the Adult Bible Study Guide. Dr. Gane was a passionate theologian and lover of Church History and believed in the benefits of graduate study for the furthering of the Gospel.
Dr. Gane emigrated with his family from Australia to the United States to pursue graduate studies in theology and received three degrees from Andrews University (MA, MDiv, and MTh). His MA and MTh theses focused on Adventist History and Early Church History respectively. He later completed his PhD at the University of Nebraska in Renaissance-Reformation Church History.
Pursuing his education was a journey of many years and filled with countless sacrifices, both for him and his family. His family has established The Erwin Gane Memorial Scholarship Fund to honor those sacrifices and his passion for Church History. The planned endowment fund aims to ease some of the financial burden for other aspiring scholars and their families and will benefit MA and PhD students studying Church History at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. If endowment funding levels are not reached, funds will go to a general scholarship fund benefitting PhD students at the seminary.
