Reflections on Biblical Themes by an Octogenarian represents the journey into faith by the author of the essays over the span of sixty years in the pastoral ministry and as a professor on college, university, and theological school levels. There has been a continuing growth in understanding from the beginnings of a rather conservative religious background and training to a more mature appreciation and understanding of life. This growth came about through the interchange in the classroom as a student in preparation for ministry, then as a pastor in the everyday work experience and interchange with parishioners and especially in the interchange with students in the classroom. This more mature understanding and growth is reflected in the essays presented in this volume on various themes as listed in the Table of Contents. It is hoped that they will be of value to lay persons and to professionals in the life of the church and in the academic world, and that they will stimulate thought and discussion in parishes and in institutions of higher learning. Some of the viewpoints may seem to be controversial, but how are we to grow intellectually and spiritually unless we wrestle seriously with the deep and profound questions of our faith and life? These reflections are offered with the hope and prayer that they will stimulate discussion and growth in the life of the church in both parish and academic settings. Reuben J. Swanson is a retired professor of New Testament and religious studies. An ordained Lutheran pastor, he has served parishes in the Midwest, the Southeast, New England, and California. Professor Swanson has received recognition and honors for his service to the church and for his writings. His works in publication include The Horizontal Line Synopsis of the Gospelsand nine volumes in the series New Testament Greek Manuscripts.Dr. Swanson continues to work on the next volumes ofNew Testament Greek Manuscripts and on a new Horizontal Line Synopsis of theGospels in Greek using the text of Codex Vaticanus as the base.
