Gordon Fee 1934–2022: renowned scholar

Renowned Bible teacher Gordon Fee has died aged 88 – though he would undoubtedly refute that!

The late pastor-teacher is widely reported to have told students, on their first day of a New Testament class, that when they ever came across a headline saying he was dead – ‘Do not believe it! He is singing with his Lord and his king’.

The self-described ‘scholar on fire’ followed his father into ministry before entering academia. Fee considered Scripture and its interpretation as a ‘touch of lightning’, not ‘mere history’. He was a prolific author, his most notable titles including How to read the Bible for all its worth (as co-author); New Testament Exegesis: A Handbook for Students and Pastors and Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God.
