Hebrew Bible scholar Erich Zenger died on Easter day, April 4th, at the age of 70. I've used Zenger's work in my teaching, particularly in my Psalms seminar, and I have had occasion to mention at least one of his books in a blog post (click here). I found his close work with the Hebrew text to be on target, illuminating, and theologically sensitive. Zenger was described as a passionate and energetic man, a committed supervisor of many doctoral students, and as an untiring advocate of Jewish-Christian relations.

This is sad. Thanks for posting the news (which I have linked on my site). I too have found Zenger's work on the Psalms illuminating.
