This monograph is a slightly revised version of my doctoral dissertation submitted to Wheaton College in 2013. The writing of it would not have been possible without the help of many individuals and institutions, of which only a few can here be noted.
I am thankful to Mrs. Virginia H. Roberts, whose financial patronage by way of the Virginia H. Roberts Fellowship Endowment enabled me to pursue doctoral studies and complete this work. The staff of Buswell Memorial Library at Wheaton College, and in particular Gregory Morrison, consistently offered timely help in locating resources and friendly encouragement. The members of my PhD cohort were, likewise, greatly encouraging and offered help and stimulation in discussion while we were laboring together at Wheaton. And my church community at Grace Church of DuPage has gladly supported me throughout my time of research and writing.
Many individuals played a more direct role in my studies and in the writing of this monograph. Thanks are owed to Dr. Richard Schultz for reading two important chapters and offering incisive yet gracious feedback. Similarly, Dr. van-Thanh Nguyen, S.V.D., of the Catholic Theological Union, provided useful instruction in a course on the Gospel of John and read and critiqued a chapter of this work. I am also indebted to several other individuals who offered their time and thoughts to reading and responding to key sections. They include Lindsey Brigham, Drew and Sarah Burlingame, Andrew Cowan, Katie Hassler, Jon Hoglund, Drew Hunter, Don Jones, Brittany Kim, Daniel Owens, Matthew Patton, and Brian Williams. Their sharp eyes and perceptive remarks have surely made the work more intelligible and stronger.
I am grateful to the members of my dissertation examination boardDr. D. A. Carson, Dr. Nicholas Perrin, and Dr. Daniel Blockfor their thoughtful critiques, eagerness to help, and words of encouragement. Additionally, I want to thank the editors of BZNW for accepting this monograph for publication in the series, and the editorial staff at de Gruyter who have kindly and ably helped to prepare the work for publication. I am also profoundly thankful to my Dok-torvater, Dr. Gregory K. Beale, for sharing wise and critical feedback, offering competent academic guidance, and displaying pastoral kindness and care throughout the past several years.
Finally, my deepest thanks are reserved for my familyAnna, John, and Jento whom I dedicate this book. If I were to list the manifestations of your love, support, encouragement, and perseverance in the difficult but fruitful years spent on this work, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
Soli Deo gloria.
