PREFACE
When we heard that David Catchpole planned to retire from his
position as the St Luke's Foundation Professor of Theological Studies
we immediately began to plan a Festschrift for him. Many of his col-
leagues in the field were more than willing to join in this venture
to honour David—a warm tribute in itself to his qualities as scholar,
teacher, administrator and friend. Others would have liked to con-
tribute but were prevented by various circumstances from doing so.
From any would-be contributors whom we have inadvertently over-
looked, we ask forgiveness.
Right from the start we were clear that we wanted to give con-
tributors the opportunity to write on a subject of their choice that
would reflect their own research interests and approaches. We there-
fore hit upon a broad theme—or collection of themes—which would
provide some coherence to the volume without unduly constraining
the contributors. The essays therefore range across a wide diversity
of topics and methods yet with some common threads running
between them. Many of them explore the evidence, nature and con-
sequences relating to various kinds of christological claim, whether
by the historical Jesus, or in the Q tradition, in John, Paul, or the
synoptics. Many of the essays, of course, interact directly with David
Catchpole's own work, sometimes in agreement and support, some-
times critically. Many of them make fresh contributions to impor-
tant debates, or develop new perspectives on New Testament texts.
We trust that David Catchpole will enjoy these essays, and enjoy
engaging with them, and that other New Testament scholars will
find the collection worthy of their attention. We offer them to David
as a token of esteem and affection—and look forward to hearing his
(no doubt penetrating and perceptive) reactions to them.
Abbreviations throughout the volume follow the JBL conventions.
Finally, David Horrell would like to thank Sally O'Shea, of the
Department of Theology at Exeter, for her wisdom and help in
regard to this project.
