Dr. Cottrell’s legacy was recently commemorated at Mid-Atlantic Christian University in Elizabeth City, N.C. On March 8, MACU hosted their inaugural Jack W. Cottrell Lectureship, a public forum designed to highlight notable themes from Cottrell’s teaching. The focus this year was the inerrancy of Scripture. The well-attended event in the school’s chapel featured excellent presentations on that theme.

The event that day also included the dedication of the Jack Cottrell Memorial Library. The Cottrell Library is a separate room within the MACU’s main library. The nicely furnished space includes plaques, photos, and memorabilia related to the professor, writer, and theologian. The room is filled with rows of library shelves holding books from Cottrell’s personal library, which he donated before his passing.
