I was shocked and saddened to learn that a professor of mine at the University of Missouri-Columbia from whom I took classes in Oral Tradition, John Foley, a giant in the field (and that is the truth), died today after battling with cancer.  I learned a great deal from his classes on oral tradition and I think that what I took away from those classes really helped me to break free of the mindset that a text is in itself authoritative which has so plagued Protestant thought when approaching Scriptures and the prayer life.  He was an excellent scholar and I really loved the Homerathons he sponsored at his house.  Memory eternal.
