"Comparison," wrote Jonathan Z. Smith, "is a disciplined exaggeration in the service of knowledge .... [It] provides the means by which we're-vision' phenomena as our data in order to solve our theoretical problems" (Drudgery Divine [Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1990], p. 52, emphasis in original). Smith's words should perhaps be taken as an invitation to biblical scholars to take possession of their own discourse in a way that they have not done hitherto.

Voices from the world's great cultures, ancient and modern, have filled Heinz Guenther's career - voices that have been embraced and nurtured into conversation. I recall many stories of such voices: those of a young Protestant theology student and the French Catholic priests at whose rectories he occasionally stayed during the chaos of post-war Europe, when Catholics seemed strange and foreign; the voices of the best of German and American theological scholarship emanating from Union Theological Seminary in New York; the voice of a German professor of theology teaching Latin to Japanese, and in the process learning the delicate ballet of Japanese culture and sensibility; the voices of a tourist and an NV A soldier conversing about religion and Marx by means of Chinese characters written on the ground of French-occupied Vietnam; and the voices filling Heinz Guenther's classrooms and office as he conversed with students and colleagues - Canadian, American, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Nigerian, Namibian, Brazilian - about texts in Greek, Latin, Coptic and Hebrew.
