  • Abraham J. Malherbe (1930–2012)
    Abraham J. Malherbe (1930–2012) Abraham J. Malherbe, the Buckingham Professor of New Testament Criticism and Literature Emeritus at Yale Divinity School, died suddenly and unexpectedly from an apparent heart attack on Friday afternoon, September 28, at his home in Hamden, CT. A member of The Society of Biblical Literature for over fifty years, Abe was a highly productive scholar who made major contributions in several areas. He is best known for his work in relating early Christianity, especially the Pauline tradition, to the Graeco-Roman world. He made contributions both to Hellenistic moral philosophy and to the ways in which early Christians were influenced by it. His work on The Cynic Epistles: A Study Edition (1977) and Moral Exhortation: A Graeco- Roman Sourcebook (1986) made a number of important texts available to the wider range of scholars. His justly famous “Hellenistic Moralists and the New Testament” (ANRW) may hold the distinction for being the most cited forthcoming article in the history of NT studies. Both before and after its appearance, this article provided a framework for NT scholars to think about how to appropriate Hellenistic moral philosophy. Abe did this in detail in several of his own books, especially Paul and the Thessalonians: The Philosophical Tradition of Pastoral Care (1987), Paul and the Popular Philosophers (1989), and his Anchor Bible Commentary, The Letters to the Thessalonians (2000). He was working on the Hermeneia commentary on the Pastorals when he died. Abe’s strong interest in Paul’s letters led him to give special attention to the theory and practice of writing letters in the Greek and Roman worlds.

  • John Haralson Hayes Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Candler School of Theology, Emory University (1934–2013)
    John Haralson Hayes Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Candler School of Theology, Emory University (1934–2013) John Haralson Hayes was born in rural Abanda, Alabama in 1934, one of seven children in a sharecropper’s home. Seventy-three years later, he retired as Franklin N. Parker Professor of Old Testament at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in 2007. In his remarkable and celebrated career, he published over forty books and numerous scholarly articles, directed twenty-five PhD dissertations, taught a generation of ministerial students, and served Baptist congregations in three states. Hayes always remembered his rural Alabama roots with great pride. As he approached retirement, he moved back to Alabama, not far from his birthplace, and began farming. In spite of his family’s limited financial resources, Hayes managed to attend and graduate from Howard College (present-day Samford University) in 1956, and completed seminary training at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1960, by which time the faculty had clearly recognized his intellectual promise. He went on to earn a PhD from the institution in 1964. He taught for several years at Trinity University in San Antonio before his appointment to the faculty at Emory University, where he concluded his career. Hayes left lasting contributions as an interpreter of the prophetic literature and, more broadly, as a historian, especially through the two volumes he produced with J. Maxwell Miller: Israelite and Judean History (1976) and A History of Ancient Israel and Judah (1986, 2006). Yet as a true polymath, Hayes published in a wide range of areas: the history of biblical interpretation, archaeology, theology, and the exegesis of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament through a wide range of critical methodologies, with a particular focus on form criticism.
