Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary is mourning the loss of Adrianne Miles, a much beloved professor, who died at the age of 52.
“Miles’ joyful investment in students, her passion for biblically equipping women for scholarship, and her caring heart for those around her made her a precious gift to the community and a Christ-like presence on campus,” the seminary said in a statement. “Her presence will be deeply missed.”
Southeastern Seminary president Danny Akin noted, “Few professors have been as beloved by faculty and students alike as Adrianne Miles.” He described her as a “constant source of blessing, encouragement and wisdom.” “She excelled in the classroom and was a wonderful churchwoman and a precious sister in Christ,” he said.
Impacting generations of women
In honor of her legacy, Southeastern has announced the Dr. Adrianne Cheek Miles Women in Scholarship Endowment, which will help to “ensure in perpetuity that generations of women will be biblically equipped for scholarship and Great Commission ministry at Southeastern— a cause dear to Miles’ heart.”
The seminary has dedicated a memorial page to tell her story and invite others to share memories and gifts in her honor. Click the link below to view the memorial page.
