  • Acknowledgments

    The editors would like to thank several people who helped along the wayduring this books long development. Co-editor Nelson wishes to thankMarsha Wissinger, former secretary to the faculty of Thiel College, for hercheerful clerical help at various points. Her typing of many of the previouslypublished essays assisted greatly in bringing this book to press, and herwillingness to learn all the German, Greek, and Latin terms in the texts wentabove and beyond the call of duty! A professor could not ask for better studentworkers than Kylie Czulewicz and Shea Maier at Thiel, who came through inthe clutch assisting in a variety of ways. Curtis Thompson, faculty colleagueextraordinaire, carefully read pieces of text and made helpful suggestions.Many thanks to you all.

    Finally, hearty thanks are due to all the contributors to this volume. Mostacademics do not object to talking about themselves or their work. But to gothe second mile of submitting that self-interpretation to public scrutiny, inthe process furthering theological reflection, is noble and generous. Six of thecontributors have died since their submissions were first published. We areglad that their lives and work can be honored by, at least, being rememberedin print.
