American evangelical professor and author Daniel J. Treier has died aged 53 after a “brief” battle with metastatic lung cancer.

Treier began teaching at Wheaton College, Illinois, when he was 28 years old, remaining there for the next 25 years. In an obituary, former PhD student and fellow Wheaton College instructor T.Y.
