The legacy of the late Andre LaCocque is brought to life in this book, each chapter having been written by his beloved friends and former students. His work has so inspired them that each of the contributor chapters moves LaCocque's work forward in directions of which he surely would have joyfully approved. His great love of Jewish-Christian relations, matters of social justice, feminist biblical scholarship, and interdisciplinary dialogue are carried forward in the enthusiasm and careful work presented here. These offerings in his memory are sure to serve as a jumping-off point for further scholarship in each of these areas of interest and blossom in the years ahead.
