大卫·B·柯里
David B. Currie
大卫·B·柯里成长于一个虔诚的基要派基督教家庭。他的父亲是牧师，父母都在伊利诺伊州芝加哥的慕迪圣经学院任教。柯里小时候就与许多基要派运动的领袖接触。他儿时的梦想就是成为一名传道人。
David B. Currie was raised in a devout, Fundamentalist Christian family. His father was a pastor, and both parents were teachers at Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago, Illinois. As a child, Currie rubbed elbows with many of the leaders of the Fundamentalist movement. His childhood dream was to become a minister himself.
柯里在三一学院和三一福音神学院学习后，实现了这个梦想。他和妻子科琳一样，成为了基要派宣教士，主要负责培训福音派大学生在校园传福音的方法。
That dream was fulfilled after Currie studied at Trinity College and at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He became a Fundamentalist missionary, as did his wife, Colleen, and his primary responsibility was to train Evangelical college students in methods of college campus evangelization.
虽然柯里一生都积极参与基要派和福音派教会的领导工作，但他始终在探究一些神学和圣经问题，这些问题在任何新教传统中都找不到令人满意的答案。经过一段常常痛苦的寻真之旅，他、科琳和他们的六个孩子（后来又添了两个孩子）终于带着复杂的心情敲开了公教会的大门，八口之家很快都接受了公教信仰。
Although he had been active in the leadership of Fundamentalist and Evangelical churches throughout his life, Currie continued to investigate theological and biblical questions that he thought had no viable answer in any Protestant tradition. After an often painful search for the truth, he, Colleen, and their six children (they have since been blessed with two more) reluctantly found themselves knocking on the door of the Catholic Church, and all eight of them soon embraced the Catholic Faith.
作为新信仰的平信徒护教学者，柯里写了畅销书《生为基要派，重生为公教徒》（Ignatius Press，1996年），并为《无原罪》杂志撰稿。柯里常在公教团体、堂区和退省会上讲解信仰，他的一些讲座，如「真理的巨大代价」、「被提揭秘」、「稗子中的麦子」、「被提：骗局还是事实？」等，可通过圣约瑟传播中心获得录音带。
As a lay apologist for his new Faith, Currie wrote the popular book Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic (Ignatius Press, 1996) and has written for Immaculata Magazine. Currie speaks about the Faith to Catholic groups and parishes and on retreats, and some of his talks, including “The Great Price of Truth,” “The Rapture Revealed,” “Wheat Among Thistles,” and “Rapture: Ruse or Reality?” are available on tape (St. Joseph Communications).
