Please read Alan’s tribute to Dan Treier. A wonderful Christian, scholar, and mentor from afar. Years ago Dan befriended me when he didn’t have to, and we were able to meet in person last year. We weren’t close. But I caught a glimpse of what Alan so movingly writes here. I can’t believe he’s gone. Only last month he reached out to let me know he couldn’t be on a panel I’d organized at SBL. I had no idea how fast the end would come.
But not the end. Dan is with Christ, who lives. And “if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.” May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
