ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This volume is a revised version of my dissertation accepted by the
University of Chicago. I am grateful to the Editorial Board of Supple-
ments to Novum Testamentum for accepting this study for publication. Any
work such as this takes place in a web of social relationships that shape
the thinking of the author. I owe special thanks to my teachers, Hans
DieterBetz, AdelaYarbroCollins,andArthurDroge.Their perceptive
criticisms, careful scholarship, and support made this volume possible.
I also wish to extend thanks to D. Dale Walker and Matt Jackson-
McCabe, colleagues with whom I have engaged in many a profitable
conversation about Christian origins. The University of Iowa School
of Religion generously supplied the resources for Travis Voth to help
proofread the manuscript and compile the index. I am grateful for his
assistance.
