ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Organizing an edited volume such as this requires the cooperation and assistance of many
individuals from family and friends to colleagues, contributors, editors, and external review-
ers. An anthology is the most social form of publishing and we are each thankful to all those
individuals—first and foremost our contributors—who have directly and indirectly made its
publication possible. We would particularly like to express our gratitude to Iain Thomson
for suggesting that we pursue this volume and our editors at Continuum/Bloomsbury, David
Avital, Sarah Campbell and Rachel Eisenhauer. We thank them for their patience and con-
fidence. Our gratitude to Delbert Burkett, Seynaeve Professor of Biblical Studies and Chair
of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Louisiana State University, for his
advice and support. We also want to thank Alice Frye for her patient encouragement and
assistance as well as Meli Badilla for her generous support and lively spirit.
