As a historical and systematic theologian Dr. Timothy R. Phillips, coeditor of this book, was keenly aware of the pervasive brokenness of our world. Since the Fall of humankind--when sin corrupted a perfect creation--we have suffered with sickness and travail, and have yearned for our spiritual home where we will finally be able to experience the width, length, height and depth of God's love (Ephesians 3:18). Tim lived and taught this theology, quietly struggling against the cancer in his own body as he helped his students know God. On September 27, 2000, we lost a valued faculty member, friend and colleague. Sandy Phillips lost a faithful husband, Aaron and Caleb lost a loving father. Tim's death, like his fifty years of life, revealed a man of integrity and goodness. We miss him. Mark. R. McMinn, co-editor
Tim Phillips embodied the best of what one could hope for in a Christian theologian and faculty member. He possessed or more accurately was possessed by, a pure and passionate love for Jesus Christ, and a desire to have his life marked by simple obedience to his Lord and Savior. From this flowed his incredible discipline, strength, courage, servant's heart, compassion, sacrificial spirit and integrity. Added to the mix were a brilliant mind and superb training. Tim Phillips enriched all of us around him, students, colleagues and friends. Stanton L. Jones provost of Wheaton College
Losing Tim Phillips has been a blow not only to his growing family but to his colleagues and students now deprived of a gentle, faithful and patient teacher. His dedication to opening theology to constructive conversation with other disciplines ad to fostering fruitful discussion among evangelical and nonevangelical scholars was a blessing to the theological community. His legacy, as illustrated by this book, should not be allowed to perish, for unless theology engage the world in which we find ourselves, it will languish. May his family find comfort in the honor he brought to God, the academy and the church. Ellen T. Cherry, Princeton Theological Seminary
Tim Phillips was one of the most deeply dedicated and hard-working teachers and scholars at Wheaton College, a man of high integrity, both intellectual and personal. He is sorely missed. Robert C. Roberts, Baylor University
My good friend and close colleague Tim Phillips spent an adult lifetime (cut short by the adversary) studying God as he has revealed himself in Jesus Christ, and inspiring others to do the same. What made his work so beneficial for the kingdom is that he deeply loved both the object of his study and those who wanted to join him in getting the study right. Robert C. Roberts, Wheaton College
From Tim's work I was always reminded of the importance of maintaining a Christ-centered faith, not simply a God-centered faith. Michael W. Mangis, Wheaton College
I admired the congruence betwee what Tim believed and how he lived. That he died as well as he lived is a tribute to his faith in the God of Jesus Christ. We will miss him, even as we give thanks for his life. L. Gregory Jones, Duke University
It was appropriate that Tim's final lecture on September 20, 2000, addressed the topic of the inspiration of Scripture, for he devoted his life as scholar-teacher to upholding the authority of the Bible as God's Word. Richard Schultz, Wheaton College
We thank God or the gift to us of Tim's life, knowing that here was one in whom we saw the righteousness of Jesus shine life the dawn. Myria Seibold, Bethel College
I appreciated Tim Phillips's obvious passionate love for God, his careful Christ-centered approach to evangelical theology and his gentle pastoral manner. Stephen K. Moroney, Malone College

[Introduction] A contemporary advertisement for a luxury car reads, "It gets into your soul, not your pocketbook." For a car with a $45,000 price tag, this claim is disputable, but the advertisers persist because they understand that the soul is marketable.
We live in the epoch of a great revolution.
