The present volume offers something for both the layman and the scholar. The interested layman, who seeks to understand some of the concerns which have shaped the orientation of a beloved Bible teacher and preacher, will benefit from this collection of essays. Also, the scholar, who desires to pursue the intricate ramifications of certain is-sues, will certainly profit from close study of this book. The bibliography of Dr. Kinlaw's writings at the end offers additional help.

These essays reflect the contagious excitement about careful scholarly activity which is exemplifed by the honoré, Dennis Kinlaw. In both scope and quality, this collection serves as a fitting tribute to this inspired and inspiring Christian educator.
