Throughout an unforgettable career, Dr. William (Bill) Mallard taught, in his special way, the Scriptures and the history of the Christian church in United Methodist congregations, at conferences, and at Candler. Bill Mallard came to Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in 1957 after teaching religion at Sweet Briar College. That same year, Bill was ordained an elder and accepted into full connection in the Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church. He and his wife, Gatra, have three adult children. He has been a fabulously popular lecturer, full of intelligence, warmth, patience, fun, and Christian commitment.
William (Bill) Mallard is featured in the FAITHANDREASON® Studio Series Volume One and Volume Two, “Does God Punish Or Reward?”, “What Does God Want From Us?”, “What Does God Want Us To Do About Evil?”, “Why Must I Forgive?”, “Why Do We Live In Fear?”, and “Is There Ever A Good Reason To Do A Wrong Thing?”, as well as the FAITHANDREASON® series “The Prospect Of A World Community Of Religions: Domination or Collaboration?”
