I begin Romans this coming Lord’s Day, and I am reminded of one of my favorite book dedications ever.
F.F. Bruce’s dedication of his magisterial book, Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free:
To my grand-daughters
HELEN, ANNA, ESTHER AND WINONA MARY
And to my grandsons
PETER, FREDERICK, ALAN and PAUL
bearing in mind T.R. Glover’s
comment on a Roman Emperor’s
condemnation of the Apostle
to the Gentiles – - that the day
was to come when men would call
their dogs Nero and their sons
PAUL
