Remembering Rod Rosenbladt

Today, the 1517 family mourns the death of Dr. Rod Rosenbladt. For many, he was known as “Dad Rod,” and to others, he was known as professor, friend, and mentor.

To generations of budding theologians, he will be fondly remembered as a significant influence in molding and shaping their worldview by helping them to understand the freedom found in the nail-scarred hands and feet of Jesus as the Savior of the world.

It is the work of Rod and his teacher, John Warwick Montgomery, that is the foundation of what 1517 has become, and he will be missed. Rod’s influence will be felt long past his triumphal entry into the kingdom he so longed to enter, and his legacy will point many more to know the forgiveness and freedom found in Christ alone.

His lectures, books, and quiet wisdom and friendship shared on the back deck will live in the hearts and minds of untold numbers of people searching for hope and a message of good news found in Jesus alone.
