England's next Lord Chancellor was Sir Thomas More, a scholar and, by popular repute, a saint. His scholarship is supported by his writings; saintliness is a quality less easy to establish. But from his willful indifference to realities which were obvious to quite ordinary contemporaries, it seems all too probable that he had it. As Western Seminary completes the 1985-1986 academic year, a great era in this school of the prophets also comes to completion as Dr. M. Eugene Osterhaven, the Albertus Van Raalte Professor of Systematic Theology, retires from his 36-year career of vibrant service to Jesus Christ within the seminary community. How does one introduce this man, this teacher, this great se rvant of J esus Christ? How does one adequately introduce this marvelous collection of essays written as tribute to his service to Western Semina ry, to the Reformed Church in America, to the worldwide Christian church, and, ultimately, to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? As I struggled with this awesome, thrilling task, I kept returning to Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons, discovering within its pages a framework of words that secure and shape my abundantsentiments.
