2019 Tributes Died

Sallie McFague (1933 – November 15, 2019) was an American feminist Christian theologian, best known for her analysis of how metaphor lies at the heart of how we may speak about God. She applied this approach in particular to ecological issues, writing extensively on care for the earth as if it were God’s “body”. She was Distinguished Theologian in Residence at the Vancouver School of Theology, British Columbia, Canada. (via Wikipedia)

  1. I was surprised by the absence of Larry Hurtado on this list.

  2. YES! This was indeed a significant oversight on our part. I remember seeing obituaries when Hurtado died, but somehow my memory failed me when I was compiling this list.

    If I get a chance over the next couple of days, I might add him to the list. He definitely belongs here!
