He is remembered for his contribution to Christian higher education in the United States not only by teaching and building the philosophy department at Wheaton, but also by writing influential books and articles about the philosophy of Christian education, participating in the creation of the Society of Christian Philosophers, and encouraging his students to go on for graduate study and become academic leaders in their own rights. Wheaton College President Philip Ryken said “It would be hard to think of anyone who has had a greater impact on Christian higher education than Arthur Holmes.” Holmes died in Wheaton, Illinois, on October 8, 2011, at age 87.
