This volume of essays is offered to George Mendenhall in appreciation of the light that he has found in the quest for that Kingdom of God, and shared in his classes, lectures and publications. The contributions come from his present and former colleagues and students from the University of Michigan, from the members over the years of the Biblical Colloquium, of which he was a founding member, and from some scholars especially concerned with areas of his work.
