To Walker's:
Any death notice on J. Louis Martyn, Ph.D., should mention his title: Edward Robinson Professor Emeritus of Biblical Theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He wrote any number of books and scholarly articles on various New Testament topics, among them:
"Theological Issues in the Letters of Paul,"
"The Gospel of John in Christian History,"
"History and Theology in the Fourth Gospel,"
and a commentary on Galatians in the Anchor Bible series.
He was a longtime resident of Bethany, Conn., before moving to North Carolina.
The person best qualified to speak about him is Leander Keck of Hamden, Conn., Lou's longtime friend who is a retired dean of Yale Divinity School.
I hope this helps. -- Robert E. Barton, Farmington, Conn.
