Having observed the life of Dr. Coleman, the authors of this anthology offer it as a deep and sincere expression of love and gratitude for one of the Lord's greatest gifts to the church. Clem, as he is affectionately known by his friends, has been a teacher, mentor, and role model for all eight contributors to this Festschrift. Each author has either been a student or colleague of this beloved brother, and all count it an honor and privilege to offer up this token of thanks to their friend.
