Dr. Lindsey possessed that quality in an individual which is difficult to find in the church today. His was a rare combination of heart and mind, faith and critical thinking. In Lindsey one could see this unique blend, both in his ministry and in his scholarship.

Lindsey autographs a copy of his new book, A Hebrew Translation of the Gospel of Mark, following the joint press conference that he and David Flusser gave at Baptist House (Oct. 19, 1969; photo: Kurt Ben-Joseph).
A couple of years ago I visited Dr. Lindsey and his wife, Margaret. I shared with them about my work. When I mentioned to him, “The Jesus who comes through as a result of your approach to the Gospels is a powerful figure who changes people’s lives,” his eyes lit up.
