Acknowledgements
I am enormously grateful to my professors from Ball State University, Dr. Mollie B. Snyder and Dr. James H. McElhinney, who patiently molded, supported, and provided the foundation necessary for the realization of this volume. To the contributors who met the deadline dates, thanks for your patience.
My gratitude goes to the people who encouraged and created the atmosphere in which productive intellectual exchanges could occur. In particular, I acknowledge the support, efforts, and dedication of Dr. Paul Richardson, Publisher of Cambria Press for his graciousness in understanding my intentions. Thanks for your tremendous insights.
As always, my family has provided constant support, prodding me onward when I ran out of energy. Lest anyone should perceive of scholarly work as a solitary exercise, this collection is proof that it can be a productive, collaborative, and communicative endeavor.
Francisca 0. Norales
