Weltin Lecture Series in
Early Christianity

  
When Edward Weltin retired from full time teaching after a long
distinguished career as Professor of Greek and Roman History
and Director of the Program in Religious Studies here at
Washington University (1947-1980), a lectureship in ancient
Christian history was established in his honor by gifts from his
students.
