Larry was born in Danville, Illinois on July 26, 1943, to Harry and Marjorie Pettegrew. He and his younger brother, Hal, were blessed to be raised in a loving, Christ-centered home. Among the many friendships Larry developed in the Church’s youth group, none proved more important than his relationship with Linda Ann Burke. Their teen-age romance developed into a 57-year long marriage.
Larry graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1965. He continued his studies at Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Minneapolis, MN. He earned his M.R.E., M.Div., and Th.M. at Central. He completed his Th.D. in Historical Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. He became a professor and later a Dean at Central. In 1995, he accepted a call to the Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, CA as a Professor of Theology. He taught there for 12 years. In 2007, Larry became the Dean and Executive Vice President of Shepherds Theological Seminary. He just recently stepped away from all teaching and administrative duties to focus solely on writing. Larry has taught thousands of students over the last six decades and has written multiple books and dozens of articles. Learn more: www.dignitymem...
