Gardner-Webb University Saddened by Sudden Death of Faculty Member
Dr. Dan Goodman of the School of Divinity Died Unexpectedly Today
There are blog tributes at Baptist Spirituality and elsewhere, with more to come, no doubt, over the next few days. I don't think I ever met Daniel, but I valued his contributions to NT scholarship (including a review of one of my books) and enjoyed corresponding with him. Our thoughts are with Daniel's family, friends and colleagues at this sad and difficult time.
I was shocked to learn of Dan's passing. I was last with him this past summer. We were grad students together at the Centre for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations at Cambridge. We were both in our second and last year of the program. He was a very bright man and yet humble, kind and easy to talk with. He will be sorely missed. My prayers and thoughts are with his wife and two boys. It is indeed a sad day.
