On the occasion of his retirement, as he is declared General Synod Professor of Theology Emeritus, his friends and colleagues present this collection of essays on homiletics, church history, biblical studies, and theology, representing a snapshot of the best seminary scholarship of the time. Edited by Trygve Johnson, director of chapel at Hope College, in Holland, Michigan, the other essays in this festschrift are authored by Karen Bohm Barker, David Bast, J. Todd Billings, Jon Brown, Gail Ebersole, Fred Johnson, III, Kristen Deede Johnson, Han-luen Kantzer Komline, Jeffrey Munroe, and Leanne Van D
