Hinson, Edward Glenn

Glenn Hinson was a retired Baptist professor who was teaching church history at Southern Seminary in Louisville at the time of writing to Merton. In the early 1960's, he brought groups of Baptist students to visit Merton at Gethsemani. Later, Dom James Fox asked that Merton stop meeting with such groups because he would require more solitude to fully live the eremitical life. Later in life, he was a visiting professor at Baptist Seminary of Kentucky in Lexington, Lexington Theological Seminary, Bellarmine University, and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
