His intellect , generosity, enthusiasm, and friendship enrich both my work and faith. Donald Downs oversaw the original manuscript with extraordinary patience and encouragement. He is a first-rate scholar, a top-notch instructor, and a valued friend. I dedicate this book to two remarkable women: my grandmother and my wife.
