Darrell Lance The InSpiriter Editor Darrell is a native Hoosier, baptized and ultimately ordained at the First Baptist Church of Indianapolis. During his days at Wabash College, he was president of the Indiana Baptist Student Movement and served on the Student Staff at Green Lake. After seminary at Colgate Rochester Divinity School and doctoral work at Harvard University, Darrell returned in 1965 to teach at Colgate Rochester where he served as professor of Old Testament interpretation until his retirement 28 years later. For seven years he spent summers as associate director of the Hebrew Union College—Harvard Semitic Museum excavations at the site of biblical Gezer in Israel. Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for 1973-74, he spent the year as Annual Professor at the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, studying materials from the Gezer excavations. Darrell is an active member of Lake Avenue Baptist Church in Rochester, New York (W&A).
