One of these was in a very hard-to-find <a href=\"https:\/\/theologyontheweb.substack.com\/p\/theology-on-the-web-at-25-achievement-dc9?r=1egdvq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">festschrift<\/a> for the Orthodox Archbishop of Great Britain and Thyateira. I wrote to the publisher, who forwarded my letter to the late Archbishop\u2019s brother in Greece, who kindly granted me permission to reproduce not only Bruce\u2019s article, but the entire volume. After many years I came across another copy of the book in the library of Professor C.E.B. Cranfield, which I was sorting for <a href=\"https:\/\/book-aaid.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book Aid<\/a> and have been able to scan the remaining articles. The festschrift is written in English, French, German and modern Greek and features articles by many well-known scholars, including <a href=\"https:\/\/theologicalstudies.org.uk\/theo_barrett.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C.K. Barrett<\/a>, James D.G. Dunn, R.P.C. Hanson, Gordon Rupp and T.F. Torrance.
