Samuel Escobar

Samuel Escobar, an influential theologian and missiologist from Peru, has died aged 90.

Escobar was a leading figure in evangelical theology in the second half of the 20th century and the first quarter of the 21st century, website Evangelical Focus reports.

“Linked to the Lausanne Movement since its inception, Escobar has been one of the most important Spanish-speaking voices in the conception of integral mission, as well as being fundamental in the development of the international evangelical student movement known as IFES (CIEE in Latin America),” it added.
