All scholarship is by its very nature collaborative. I give thanks for this collaborative community. I owe an even greater debt of gratitude to my immediate and extend- ed family for their prayerful and constant support, most especially to my almost always patient children David and Miriam and always encour- aging spouse Rebecca, to whom this book is dedicated with much love. My deepest gratitude belongs to God, whose sustaining and prodding presence has accompanied me throughout this process, and who has seen to it that the toil of scholarship has more often than not brought the pleasure of encounter with divine Wisdom. Lastly, I gratefully acknowledge the support of the University of Waterloo/Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in providing me with a grant for computer equipment and software that enabled me to prepare this manuscript for publication, and to my academic home, Conrad Grebel College, which aided generously in the costs of publi- cation.
