I just got word from the editor that a book to which I contributed a chapter is soon to come off the press from Wipf and Stock, under the Pickwick imprint, which is their primary academic venue. I look forward to reading the other essays, because it looks like a very worthwhile collection – good authors on interesting topics. I am happy to have a small part in honoring Edward Fudge, a lovely and godly man, and a fine scholar who suffered considerably for his pursuit of truth.
In his blog post about the book today, Chris Date gives us the table of contents, and it promises to be an eschatological treat.
