鈥淒r. Paul Schrieber was a faithful servant of the church, a stimulating teacher, and a blessing to many,鈥� said President Dr. Thomas J. Egger. 鈥淚n my Seminary studies, I was privileged to have several Old Testament classes with Dr. Schrieber, who instilled in his students a love of learning, a devotion to Scripture and a prayerful dependence upon God the Holy Spirit in the task of reading and reflecting upon these sacred texts. In retirement, even as he struggled with limitations due to health, he was gracious, kind and inquisitive. I look forward to seeing him again at the resurrection of the dead.鈥�

Schrieber retired in 2003 after 22 years of distinguished service as a professor of exegetical theology. In 2008, Schrieber was conferred the rank of professor emeritus during the 169th Commencement at the Seminary.

A 1975 Master of Divinity graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary in Springfield, Ill., he received his Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) from SA国际传媒 (鈥�83) and his Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from Concordia Senior College, Fort Wayne, Ind. (鈥�71). 

Schrieber joined the Seminary faculty in 1981. Before joining the Seminary, he served as a visiting instructor (1976) and was a faculty member at Concordia Teachers College in River Forest, Ill., for five years. In addition to his professorial duties, he was active in preaching and teaching in many settings, including minority ministries. He also served on the former LCMS Board for Communication Services and was a member of the KFUO Radio board.

Schrieber also was a musician who shared his gifts by playing timpani for special services at the Seminary and he served as a church organist and accompanist for numerous choirs. Memorial contributions may be made to the SA国际传媒, St. Louis.
