When Tony Campbell, aged 75, asked the Council of Jesuit
Theological College for Emeritus status and retirement from JTC,
both were granted most graciously, along with a testimonial
document which said in part: 'His teaching has combined evocation
and provocation in the best sense of those terms. He has mentored
research students with scholarly exactitude and personal care. He
has published books of the highest scholarly quality, of engaging
readability, and of passionate conviction.' When we at ATF were
considering asking him for a volume of Collected Works or Selected
Writings, we were well aware that 'published books of the highest
scholarly quality' were likely to be found on the shelves of
libraries and of specialised academics, but not with students and
others generally interested. There may be a dozen or more of Tony's
books on the list from Amazon.com booksellers, along with another
two or three that are not listed there. But most are heavy-duty
specialist works, not easily accessible even to the educated
public. We were equally well aware that there was a surprising
number of essays and articles scattered in journals and proceedings
of conferences that were, because of the scattering, often just as
inaccessible. We thought that a collection of these in a single
volume would be of great value to those interested. In the
Introduction to this volume, Father Campbell has gone into some
detail about the contents. Suffice for us to say that Job and the
issues associated with suffering concern us all, that the interplay
of history and narrative is a constant in the understanding of much
biblical text, and that the nature of the Bible and its role in our
lives is a major concern for most thinking Christians. While Father
Campbell's focus is on the Older Testament, pondering what he looks
at throws light on much of the Newer Testament as well. The
writings Tony Campbell has pulled together in this single volume
address significant issues within the readable length of an article
or a talk. Addressed originally to thinking people, we at ATF
believe they are likely to be of interest to a wide audience.
