I must thank my advisor and men- tor Raymond Van Dam for introducing me to him. I am grateful to Matt Walhout, Dean of Research and Scholarship and to the Provost’s Office at Calvin College for a Calvin Research Fellow- ship (Fall 2009), which facilitated my preliminary work on this volume, and I also appreciate the support and encouragement I have received from my colleagues in the History and Classics Departments. I would like to thank Mark DelCogliano, who shared a pre- published copy of an introduction to and translations of Athana- sius and Didymus the Blind (completed together with Andrew Radde-Gallwitz and Lewis Ayres), and Kelley Spoerl for her in- sightful comments and suggestions on the introduction. I also am indebted to Carole Monica Burnett, Staff Editor for the Fa- thers of the Church series, for her clear and open communica- tion, keen eye, and astute suggestions and corrections, and to David Hunter, the Editorial Director, for his advice, direction, encouragement, and time. I am grateful to the anonymous re- viewers for their invaluable questions, suggestions, and correc- tions. Any errors and shortcomings that remain are my own. As is true for all of us in the academy, any research project requires a significant sacrifice of personal time, and usually it is our loved ones who bear the greatest burden. My wife Betty and our sons Ewan and Rhys are my inspiration and joy. All my love to them. Finally, I dedicate this volume to my parents, who im- migrated from South Korea in 1975 to provide their future chil- dren with the opportunity to study and to succeed. My work is in part a testament to their sacrifice and support over the years. s.d.g. ix
