Biography
Laughery studied with Dr. Francis Schaeffer at Swiss L’Abri Fellowship, before going on to take a theology degree at the London School of Theology, a license and a specialization diploma in New Testament at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and a PhD at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His dissertation Living Hermeneutics in Motion: An Analysis and Evaluation of Paul Ricoeur's Contribution to Biblical Hermeneutics received the highest honors. He has continued to publish in the field of biblical hermeneutics and other areas of interest, and has been particularly lauded for his work on the French philosopher/theologian Paul Ricoeur and for his writings on Christian spirituality.
Laughery has written extensively in recent years, publishing books centered around living Christian spirituality based around the students he has encountered at L'Abri Fellowship. Ranging from the pastoral Living Spirituality to the hermeneutical Living Apocalypse, Laughery works closely with Destinee Media to produce his works.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
