In May, tests showed that the cancer had spread to his brain. He underwent 20 radiation treatments but continued to weaken. Nonetheless, he finished teaching his course on women and the Bible, delivered a baccalaureate sermon for Fuller's graduates, and participated in the services for his graduating doctoral students. He was set to officially retire Sunday.
He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Jeannette Scholer, who recently retired as director of academic programs at Fuller; two daughters, Abigail Scholer Strazzabosco and Emily Scholer Hernandez; and three grandchildren.
