New Testament Studies. We are sorry to learn of the death of
Stephen Smalley who was Lecturer, then Senior Lecturer, in New Testament in the Faculty of Theology at the University of Manchester from 1970-1977 in the era of F.F. Bruce, and Dean of Chester 1987-2001. Stephen wrote several books and articles on the Johannine Literature, some of which remain in print and are much used, including
John Evangelist and Interpreter (1984),
Thunder and Love: John's Revelation and John's Community (1994),
The Revelation to John: A Commentary on the Greek text of the Apocalypse (2005), and
Hope for Ever: The Christian View of Life and Death (2005). Philip Alexander will represent informally the University and the Department at the funeral.
