With deep gratitude to David Douglass, who for nearly nineteen years served as my editor in the preparation of these commentaries. Dave’s obvious love for the Word of God, his skill in theology, and his professionalism as an editor are all indeliby imprinted on these books. His partnership and encouragement over the years have helped keep my own enthusiasm running high. He is finally taking a well-earned rest from the work, and his contribution will be sorely missed.
