The Guardian published its obituary of C. K. Barrett last week. It is written by Robert Morgan who describes him, alongside C. H. Dodd, as "the greatest British New Testament scholar of the twentieth century":
The Rev CK Barrett obituary
Biblical scholar known for his acute analysis of the New Testament
Thanks to Alan Bandy, Sean Winter, Mike Bird and others for the notice.
The Telegraph obituary was published a month ago, but I did not get the chance to mention it because it fell during my sabbatical from blogging:
The Reverend C K Barrett
The Reverend CK Barrett, who died on August 26 aged 94, was one of the foremost New Testament theologians of the 20th century
Both obituaries mention his habit of doing his NT research from 10pm to 2am each day.
