CHICAGO, IL (October 10, 2006) \u2013 A festschrift honoring long-time North Park Theological Seminary (NPTS) Professor John Weborg has been released.
\n
\nIn Spirit and in Truth<\/em>, a collection of essays, was nearly three years in the making, says NPTS Professor Phil Anderson, who co-edited the book with colleague Professor Michelle Clifton-Soderstrom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cIt\u2019s significant that there is no particular milestone connected with the festschrift,\u201d says Anderson, explaining that festschrifts normally are published in connection with a retirement or birthday. Organizers \u201cjust seized the moment,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Weborg, who has officially retired but continues to teach courses at the seminary, has long been one of the most popular professors with colleagues and students. The once would-be veterinarian taught theology, worship and spiritual formation. Nearly every Evangelical Covenant Church has been at least indirectly affected by his work, Anderson observes. \u201cWithout a doubt, he is one of the most influential people in the Covenant,\u201d Anderson adds.<\/p>\n

The book is divided into three sections: theology, spirituality and worship, and healing and embodiment. \u201cWe wanted to include the areas that were of interest to John,\u201d Anderson says. Contributors include colleagues, friends and former students.<\/p>\n

Weborg\u2019s legendary wide-ranging interests are noted in the festschrift\u2019s foreword by Stephen Graham, the seminary\u2019s dean of faculty. \u201cJohn is just as likely to quote U2 lead singer Bono as he is the philosopher Heidegger, or poets from Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, or the ancient past,\u201d Graham says. \u201cAnd he is able to use this remarkable scope of learning with humility and grace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book also includes the last essay ever to appear under the name of Weborg\u2019s close friend and fellow professor, Burton Nelson, who died in March 2004. Nelson worked on the content of the piece with Geoffrey Kelly, who finished the essay.<\/p>\n

In Spirit and in Truth<\/em> serves an expanded issue of The Covenant Quarterly<\/em>, which is mailed to all pastors as well as subscribers. To purchase In Spirit and in Truth<\/em> from the online Covenant Bookstore using a credit card, please visit Covenant Bookstore<\/a>.<\/p>\n
