Leon Morris (1914-2006)
I just learned from Scot McKnight that the great New Testament scholar Leon Morris passed away Monday afternoon in Melbourne at the age of 92. Here is his obiturary.
It just happened that I have been reading his commentary on John (NICNT) and his Reflections on the 4th Gospel for the last few days while preparing my sermon on Mary Magdalene.
Quoting from the obiturary: “Morris was well known for his humble manner and gracious Christian character. He leaves a vast legacy of theologically equipped ministers throughout the world upholding biblical Christian faith centred on the atoning death of Jesus Christ.”
Such a humble man, such a great Christian.
