A God So Near

Patrick Miller is widely known as an educator, editor, President of the Society of Biblical Literature, and academic who is concerned to ensure that academics and the life of the church are not torn asunder in this era of fragmentation. As the editors note, The depths of Millers contributions to church and academy are reflected in the depth of his relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. This volume honors him for his lifes work, presenting 24 essays by students and colleagues on themes dear to Miller: (1) the Psalms and Gods nearness to his people, and (2) Torah (Deuteronomy, in particular) and Gods connection with his people in their lives together. A bibliography of Millers writings is also included.
