I Tertius
One of the stated purposes of Priscilla Papers is “to build a team of egalitarian scholars” (see https://cbeinternational.org/content/priscilla-papers-writers-guidelines). The most obvious evidence of this team-building effort is that we have published the work of well over 500 authors since our founding in 1987.
About half of these authors have one piece in Priscilla Papers, and to that list the current issue adds the names Sue Bailey, Lauren England, Shelley Siemens Janzen, Chris Loewen, and Evelyn Sweerts-Vermeulen. Some authors have been frequent contributors, such as Gretchen Gaebelein Hull’s twelve items published before her death in 2019 (see Mimi Haddad’s tribute to her in our autumn 2019 issue), Kevin Giles’s sixteen items published from 2003 and 2021, and Aída Besançon Spencer’s twenty items from 1990–2019.
Preparing this issue of Priscilla Papers turned my mind to this “team of egalitarian scholars,” mainly for two reasons.
First, we are pleased to provide an article by Craig Keener on household codes in the New Testament. Craig published ten articles in Priscilla Papers in the 1990s. During and since that time, he has become a prolific author, with over a million of his more than thirty books in circulation.
Second, this issue includes a review of Karen Strand Winslow’s book, Imagining Equity. Karen serves on the Priscilla Papers Peer Review Team. As I wrote the review, I was reminded of the many recent publications by our several peer reviewers. Moreover, I was struck by how diverse and outstanding these publications are. Below is a partial and representative list:
