In Memoriam: Joseph Thomas O'Connell, 1940–May 6, 2012 Joseph Thomas O'Connell passed away on May 6, 2012, at the age of 72, following a brain hemorrhage. AAR Publications Committee Thanks Jacob Kinnard for His Years of Service The Publications Committee hereby extends its deepest gratitude to Jacob Kinnard, Iliff School of Theology, for his decade-long service as editor of the AAR/OUP Religion, Culture, and History Series and his contributions to the collaborative work of the Publications Committee. Kinnard revitalized the series by giving it a clear rationale and a title that more accurately reflected its purpose. He also discovered some authors who shared his vision and expressed it in ways that challenged the academy and pointed to new directions for future scholarship. Kinnard now continues his service to the academy by focusing on needs closer to home. The Publications Committee recognizes this commitment by making a donation in his honor to the AAR Rocky Mountain–Great Plains Region. |
