In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

ix Acknowledgments As I complete and present this book, I think gratefully of the students I have taught at San Domenico School, Dominican College of San Rafael (now Dominican University), the Graduate Theological Union. I am deeply appreciative of colleagues who have taught me a great deal and in so many ways. I have gained immeasurably from the many opportunities I have been given to present my work before professional audiences and lay groups as well, each helpfully supportive and critical as called for. Much of the material in this book has received such attention. As libraries become in many ways increasingly anonymous, I want to thank all those working behind the scenes to make research as easy as it can be and to name the librarians I have known best at the Graduate Theological Union: Robert Benedetto, Oscar Burdick, Phillippa Caldeira, Clay-Edward Dixon, Marie Hempen, Mary Mead, David Stiver, Kris Veldheer.
