These essays, presented in honor of victor Paul Furnish on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday, are intended to relate to two primer spheres of his profesional life which he has purposefully and gracefully held together-the advancement of knowledge, particularly the understanding of Paul and his letters, and seminary education. Professor Furnish's work on Paul's ethics has influenced and shape American thought in the field throughout the past three decades. His Theology and Ethics in Paul, whose title we now acknowledge in the of this book. remained in print for a quarter century, sparking interest in Pauline ethics and serving as a touchstone for further studies. And his subsequent books and articles (such as The Love Command in the New Testament and The Moral Teaching of Paul) have been equally influential.
