1 Krister Stendahl passed away 15 April 2008, a few days after our centennial celebration of HTR. With the editorial board, the managing editor, and the staff of HTR, and with Krister Stendahl's family, I share grief and gratitude. Among his many activities, Krister served as editor of HTR for several years (1963–1974), and considered this task as an important part of his ministry. I would like to express my admiration and gratitude for his work during that period. He preserved the continuity of HTR in a time of many discontinuities. Among Krister's many gifts and achievements: he joined the Harvard Divinity School faculty in 1954, served as dean of HDS (1968–1979), became bishop of Stockholm (1984–1988), served as the first chaplain of HDS (1988–1991), and was the first Myra and Robert Kraft and Jacob Hiatt Distinguished Professor of Christian Studies at Brandeis University (1990–1993). He was an international leader who promoted women's ordination, gay and lesbian rights, and interfaith dialogue—especially Jewish-Christian relations. He served as the chair of the World Council of Churches' Consultation on the Church and the Jewish People. His major scholarly publications include The School of St. Matthew (1954, 1968), The Bible and the Role of Women (1966), Holy Week (1974), What the Spirit is Saying to the Churches (1975), Paul Among the Jews and Gentiles (1976), Meanings (1984, expanded 2d ed., 2008), Energy for Life (1990), Final Account, or Paul's Letter to the Romans (1993).
