Читать книгу Salvation Story - David R. Froemming - Страница 5

Through encountering the work of René Girard I have grown in an understanding and an appreciation as to how the life and example of other people have become part of my own engagement with scripture. By their passion for teaching scripture, its historical/cultural context, its languages, and its relationship to so many other disciplines, I have been nurtured and mentored as an educator and pastor.

I want to acknowledge the following people: Rita Burns, Tom Suriano, Dan DiDomizio, Gary Boelhower, Joan Leonard, Loretta Dornisch, David McCarthy, Fran Leap, James Bailey, Nate Frambach, Ann Fritschel, Norma Cook Everist, David Lull, Shannon Jung, Ray Martin, Craig Nessan, Duane Larson, Elizabeth Leeper, James Nieman, Dan Olson, May Burt Persaud, Winston Persaud, Duane Priebe, Gwen Sayler, Thomas Schattauer, and Bill Weiblin.

Thank you to my wife, Kathy O’Brien Froemming, for her love, perseverance, and patience for being with me on my journey in ministry. Thank you to our daughter, Caitlin, and son, Brian, for conversations, feedback, and encouragement to write.

Thank you to Craig Nessan, James Alison, Duane Larson, and Douglas John Hall for reading my work and providing valuable feedback.

Thank you to George Carlson, my ordaining bishop, who gathered his first call pastors to read Douglas John Hall.

Thank you to the communities of Christ Lutheran Church, Lancaster, Wisconsin, and St. Paul Lutheran Church, Potosi, Wisconsin, who have supported me in my ministry.

I give a special thank you to long-time friends Sam and Arlene Jackson, and Gloria Krueger who have supported my journey in ministry.

Rev David R. Froemming
