vii Acknowled gments Many people provided assistance throughout the production of this text. The prior editor at the Catholic university of america Press, greg lanave, deserves thanks for encouraging the project and facilitating a helpful blindreview process. along those lines i would like to thank the blind-reviewers for performing their anonymous task so responsibly. James kruggel’s professionalism and competence at CuaP made quite smooth the transition in editorial leadership. denis Janz, my former colleague at loyola university in new Orleans, gave sage advice about rethinking the schema of the book. dr. Judith hunt proofread earlier drafts of the proposal and shared helpful suggestions. The late Stephen duffy steadily encouraged the project. hurricane katrina and the consequent dislocation complicated my work on this translation. The hospitality of lisa and larry Cahill, along with Boston College’s theology department, ameliorated my situation during the fall of 2005. Without their generosity the project would have been greatly delayed. Philip king has subsidized the project, enabling me to enlist the help of a talented student and a germanophone colleague. The former, andy Morgan, reviewed what were very rough translations and improved the finished product. The latter, Mark Miller, agreed to a three-week working vacation in the 2006 summer. his expertise in german, coupled with his theological acumen, advanced and facilitated the completion of several chapters. viii C Acknowledgments i would also like to thank the department of Theological Studies at Saint louis university, and its chair, Wayne hellman. he provided me a very manageable teaching load during the project’s final stages and created a genuinely pleasant work atmosphere. The graduate directors, James ginther and Jay hammond, also outfitted me with an able and willing graduate assistant, Jonathan king, whose help has been invaluable for completing the project. in particular, his work on “is history Mythic?” constituted not just assistance, but scholarship that should be and has been recognized as such. Conversations over the past years with Bradford hinze, Michael himes, and Peter hünermann have influenced and deepened my understanding of the tübingen School. i am grateful to them for lending their time and expertise so liberally. relatively recent tübingen School translations by Michael himes and Peter erb provided models for how i might render many difficult german phrases. Thanks need also to be parceled to Cleve Thayer and Joachim Porzig, my high school german teacher and tutor, who instilled in me a love for the language that provided a solid basis for many future forays in germanspeaking lands and through german texts. despite so much assistance, any errors in the present volume are mine entirely. i dedicate this work to two unsurpassably decent mentor-friends, Stephen duffy (in memoriam) and Philip king: priestly in office and rabbinic in disposition, who embody the Christian expression of horace’s line from the Ars Poetica: si vis me flere, dolendum est primum ipsi tibi.
