C. F. D. Moule, 1908-2007

We thank gentle reader Scott L for directing us to the news that one of the true giants of New Testament scholarship, Charles Francis Digby Moule, passed away this week.

Those who do NT academically don't need to be told who Moule is. Those who don't should read the Independent's obituary to get a sense of the world in which so much influential scholarship on the Bible has been recently done. One can also learn that devotion to God, learning and good sense can somehow reside in the same person.
