EDITORIAL FOREWORD FOREWORD This issue of Luthel,un Theological Review is dedicatcd with affcction and respect to Dr. E. Edward Haclcmann who, since his retirement in January 1993, has become the second Emeritus Professor of thc St. Catharines seminary. New York pastor and St. Catharines adjunct professor Dr. Erwin Brese placcs in Biblical perspective a popular pursuit in his l'il-t contribution to these pages, "Towards Constructing a Spiritual Family Tree: Blood and Water." In an essay honouring his longtime colleague at St. Catharines, Dr. John Wilch combines Old Testament scholarship with a foray into the controverted area of "Christian Ethics" in "Absam in Egypt." Pr. Thomas Winger learned I'roni Dr. Ilackmann the importance and value of meticulous study of the Lutheran Confessions. Now assistant pasLor of Grace Lutheran Chmch where Dr. and Mrs. Hacknlann held membership during their years in St. Catharines, PS. Wingcr salutes his respected leacher in "Augsburg Confession IV & V: Justification, Means of Grace, Office of the Holy Ministry." Another long-time colleague of Dr. Hackmam contributes to this Festschrift in an article review. In LTR I:l, Dean Roger Humann deal1 with "The Function and Form of The Explicit Old Testament Quotations in the Gospel of John." Dr. Bruce Schuchard has dclved dceper into this subject in his recently published doctoral dissertation, Scl-iyture Within Scripture: The Inter-relationship qf'Fom and Function in the E,vylicit Old Testanzcnt Cifutions of the Gospel of John." During his years in St. Catharines, Dr. Hacknlarm thrice responded to the call to fill pastoral vacancies, once at Our Saviour in Niagara Falls: and twice at Grace in St. Catharines. There is therefore a certain appropriateness in the inclusion in this issue of a sermon by Pr. Marvin Meitz, the current senior pastor at Grace. The occasion of Pr. Meitz' hornily is, alas, an appalling tragedy which has rcceived much publicity throughout Canada and even beyond our borders. Kristen French was abducted on her way home from school on Holy Thursday 1992, and s~~bsequently found brutally mul-clered. It would appear that the abduction itself took place in Grace's parking lot, within yards of the altar at which Pr. Meitz serves. In "The Kingdom Ours Remaineth," preached on Invocavit Sunday 1993, the Holy Gospel is pertinently brought to bear on a tragedy which has indelibly wounded St. Catharines and lcft its impact on all of Canada. At the suggestion of his colleagues, we includc a chapel homily delivered by the undersigned, "Remembrance Day 1993." The Sci-ipture Readings appointed for the day were Dan. 4:2S-33 and Lk. 18:9-14. Tn company with his colleagues and many past and present members of our student body, the undersigned has inarvelled at (13~1 would not presume to emulate!) Dr. Hackmann's ability to deliver a superbly structured, coherent, and powcrful twcnty-minute setmon without a manuscript!
