Jerry B. Cain spent his career in Christian higher education with 14 years as President of Judson University in Illinois preceded by 20 years as Chaplain and Collegiate Vice President at William Jewell College. His fascination with the missionary legacy of Adoniram Judson led him to recruit a true Orientalist, Dr. Angelene Naw, to teach Eastern History and Civilization at Judson University. Now in retirement, his fascination with missionary history continues to grow resulting in a collaboration with Dr. Naw to produce The History of the Karen People of Burma. Dr. Cain lives with his wife, Linda, in suburban Kansas City where he is involved with the Grace Karen Baptist Church.
