John Mulholland

Now retired from The University of Chicago Law Library, John has served as a volunteer advisor to InterVarsity at The University of Chicago, prompted by a talk, now essay, by Dallas Willard entitled “The Redemption of Reason”, where he challenges all Christians, students, faculty and staff to engage their colleges and universities. John subsequently founded Redemption of Reason, a conference series, at The University of Chicago. He assisted with lunchtime faculty forum, Text and Truth, and later organized the forum in cooperation with InterVarsity and a local church.

While working with newly arrived books and journals at the Law Library, John had a eureka moment that has influenced his thinking ever since. He noticed one day that no book or article that ever arrived at the library closed with a line like, “This is the last book/ essay that will ever be written on constitutional law, tort law, family law, international treaties, et al,” reminding him of Paul’s line about all of us “seeing through a glass darkly.” What started as a calling to Christian engagement of academia, has grown into a larger human and Christian calling to serious, studied and wide ranging engagement of academia and culture. This has become an all- encompassing life interest and desire to share with others, for example, John’s frequent commentary on academia, culture and current at his Facebook group, The Charles Malik Society for Redeeming Reason.

John is married to Sandy, whose late father was a Methodist missionary builder and architect serving in India, where she learned to play the sitar and much else about India, thus sharing John’s international interests. Their children have shared in this - Erin spent time in Kenya and Sierra Leone on mission trips and recently visited several countries in Europe, and Brendon spent time traveling in India with Sandy and her brother and then on his own in England.
