Bruce Metzger (1914-2007)

I read this morning that Bruce Manning Metzger passed away. It could be said that no one has done more for New Testament textual studies in the last 100 years than Metzger. From everything that I can understand, he not only lived the life of a great student and scholar, but he also lived a godly life. He leaves behind two children and a wife of 62 years.

Oh! What a loss to us! I have his books "The Bible in Translation" and "The Text of the New Testament", among others. I'm glad he finished well.
