| Summary: | In 1970, exactly fifty years ago, I took entrance examinations in Hebrew and Greek to begin studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome. I have shared in various ministries since then, sometimes in positions that distracted from my academic interests (e.g., Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, 2003-05, and Provincial Superior of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Australia and the Pacific, 2006-11). Nevertheless, I have been a privileged 'insider' to the development of critical studies of the New Testament over the past fifty years. Given my history, the title of this essay shamelessly plagiarises Geoffrey Blainey's delightful recollections of his early years, 'Before I Forget'. |
