\"IHM<\/a>As has now been widely reported, I Howard Marshall, Emeritus Professor of New Testament at Aberdeen University, passed away this weekend.<\/p>\n

I had the privilege of studying with Howard doing my doctoral work from 1998-2001. Howard was always clear that no one studied \u201cunder\u201d him but \u201cwith\u201d him. He corrected my use of prepositions early on. He also insisted that he be called, simply, Howard. In the biographical sketch of Howard which I wrote for his most recent festschrift<\/a>, I related the humorous manner in which he finally convinced me- against my Southern upbringing- to adopt this practice.<\/p>\n

In correspondence over the weekend, my friend J Hering, related a story which illustrates the experience of many who studied in Aberdeen, whether directly with Howard or not. For his research J needed a 40-50 year old unpublished German thesis which he had not been able to locate through the major libraries. J relates:<\/p>\n

“When Prof. Marshall one day asked me how my research was coming along, I related to him that I had stalled, due to the unavailability of this single\u00a0thesis. He just smiled. He had a copy in his personal library. Incredible. I soon learned that there were very few German NT works that he had not read.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

J went on to reflect on Howard’s love for us- “He really looked out for us.”\u00a0Howard was not J’s supervisor, but he took an interest in helping all of us.<\/p>\n

\"IHMThe Gospel Coalition posted tributes to Howard from myself <\/a>and from Darrell Bock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Howard’s voluminous writing is often commented on. Here is the bibliography from the festschrift with some updates:

Carl Trueman’s interview of Howard in Themelios in 2000 (cited in my tribute) shows much of the heart of the man: https:\/\/t.co\/ck32zmEK2l<\/a><\/p>\n
