Derek Kidner (1913-2008)

I've heard confirmation that OT scholar Derek Kidner has gone to be with the Lord. The memorial service was held last Friday. Kidner, an ordained Anglican priest, held the following positions:

• Curate of St. Nicholas, Sevenoaks (1941-1947)
  
• Vicar of Felsted (1947-1951)
• Senior Tutor at Oak Hill Theological College (1951-1964)
  
• Warden of Tyndale House in Cambridge (1964-1978)

He was known for his engaging, insightful, and accessible work on the Old Testament. The following is surely a selective list, but here are his main commentaries on the OT (all published by IVP):

Bible Speaks Today

• The Message of Jeremiah: Against Wind and Tide
• The Message of Ecclesiastes
• The Message of Hosea: Love to the Loveless
