"His discovery of the lambda calculus."
Is "discovery" the right word to say? Talam 14:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
The Introduction mentions the Church-Rosser Theorem (counfluence of lambda calculus) among his major achievements, but doesn't mention Church's Theorem (undecidability of predicate logic); in the main text the situation is the opposite. I would say the Introduction ought to be brought in line with the main text in this regard. Predicate logic is the _lingua franca_ of symbolic logic, whereas the lambda calculus -- while by no means unimportant -- is but one of many equally well-known theoretical models of computation. Nastor ( talk) 14:10, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Is it correct for Church's theorem to link to the Entscheidungsproblem, since Church's theorem relates to the undecidability of the Entscheidungsproblem? Does Church's theorem warrant a separate article? Froskoy ( talk) 08:21, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

There is a reference: 'see e.g. Church 1970', but who knows what it is!? There are five of his works mentioned:
Alonzo Church, Introduction to Mathematical Logic (ISBN 978-0-691-02906-1)[15]
Alonzo Church, The Calculi of Lambda-Conversion (ISBN 978-0-691-08394-0)[16]
Alonzo Church, A Bibliography of Symbolic Logic, 1666–1935 (ISBN 978-0-8218-0084-3)
Alonzo Church interviewed by William Aspray on 17 May 1984. The Princeton Mathematics Community in the 1930s: An Oral-History Project, transcript number 5.
Church, A. (1950). "On Carnap's Analysis of Statements of Assertion and Belief". The Journal of Symbolic Logic. 10 (5): 97–99. doi:10.2307/3326684. JSTOR 3326684.
and not one of them was published in 1970. ThePinkGerbil ( talk) 17:43, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Giving Alonzo's name and dates isn't really a great caption for the main photo, doesn't give context. Can anyone find the date it was taken? It should read something like 'Church in 1963', for example. CoyotesKenning ( talk) 23:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
