THE EDITORS WOULD LIKE to extend their appreciation to a number of individuals whose outstanding work helped make this volume possible. We would like to thank our contributors for their timely, thoughtful, and substantive essays. Our gratitude goes to the folks at Crossway Books—especially Lane Dennis, Marvin Padgett, and Bill Deckard—for enthusiastically embracing and supporting this project. A special word of thanks to Marshall Wall for his fine work assembling the indexes. Finally, we thank the Lord for his mercy and grace in our lives, and for giving us wives—Virginia Erickson, Marla Helseth, and Lea Taylor—who fear God and love his Word.
