John F. Walvoord, theologian,
writer, and teacher, seminary president, and defender of dispensational
pretribulational premillennialism, was born on May 1, 1910, in
Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He was the youngest of three children.
John was raised in a home that valued education in general and
religious training in particular. His father, John Garrett Walvoord,
was a school teacher. During his mother Mary Flipse Walvoord`s
difficult pregnancy, her doctors advised an abortion; however,
because of their conviction that the child was a gift from the
Lord, they brought John to term. The child proved to be robust,
and Mary lived to be 102. The family were members of the First
Presbyterian Church, his father an elder and Sunday school superintendent.
His parents determined that their children would be reared on
the Westminster Shorter Catechism and Scripture memory.
When John was fifteen, the family moved to Racine where his
father was a junior high school superintendent. During his high
school years, John excelled in academics and athletics but continued
to have only a nominal interest in Christianity, although he
had committed his life to Christian work when he was twelve.
His family joined the Union Gospel Tabernacle (now the nondenominational
Racine Bible Church). While attending a study of the book of
Galatians, he became assured of God`s mercy toward him. Three
years later (1928), he entered Wheaton College. John continued
to excel in academics and athletics, though he also distinguished
himself as a member of the debate team that won state championships
in 1930 and 1931. Additionally, he was president of the college`s
Christian Endeavor where he made a commitment to foreign missions.
He completed his undergraduate degree in 1931 with honors having
accelerated his progress due to summer school work at the University
of Colorado.
He married Geraldine Delores Lundgren in her hometown of Geneva,
Illinois. Geraldine was the fifth of six children born to native
Swedes Gustaf Edward Lundgren and Emily Skoglund.
Geraldine was born September 6, 1914 in Geneva, Illinois.
Geraldine made a personal decision to accept Christ as her Savior
at an early age. After developing avenues of ministry in music
and youth programs in her church, Geraldine continued her education
at Wheaton College and Northern Illinois University. It was during
this time that Geraldine`s sister Harriet Lundgren began dating
Ellwood Evans, a student from Evangelical Theological College
(later renamed Dallas Theological Seminary). One Christmas holiday,
another theology student traveled with Ellwood as he headed north
to visit Harriet. When they arrived, Ellwood made the simple
introduction, "Geraldine, I want you to meet my friend John
Walvoord."
John accepted the invitation to stay for dinner before traveling
on to his parents` home in Wisconsin and over the next several
years more than a few letters and visits cultivated their friendship
into a lifelong romance. Deeply in love and convinced of God`s
will for their lives, John and Geraldine were married on June
28, 1939.
