  Hans-Georg Gadamer

  Hans-Georg Gadamer was born February 11, 1900 in Marburg, Germany.
  (Arabic: هانز جورج غادامير)
  
  Gadamer showed an early aptitude for studies in philosophy and after receiving his doctoral degree in 1922 he went on to work directly under Martin Heidegger for a period of five years. This had a profound and lasting effect on Gadamer's philosophical progression.
  
  Gadamer was a teacher for most of his life, and published several important works: Truth and Method is considered his magnum opus.

To both Heidegger and to Gadamer, hermeneutics is not restricted

  J.I. Packer

  What do J. I. Packer, Billy Graham and Richard John Neuhaus have in common? Each was recently named by TIME magazine as among the 25 most influential evangelicals in America.
