I would like to acknowledge some of the numerous people who made this book possible. My deepest gratitude to Catherine Keller, Robert Corrington, and Virginia Burrus, for their depth of wisdom, guidance, constructive criticism, analytical clarity, teaching, discussions, and mentorship, which have shaped this text in so many different ways. I thank my fellow students and friends at Drew University who read many of the chapters and gave solidarity and fellowship in trying to set textual boundaries to the abysmal. I especially thank Dhawn Martin, who gave me important feedback at a crucial time during the latter stages. I thank Drew University for seeing a potentiality in me and for giving me a generous scholarship to study at the school. I am thankful to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland, which gave me study leave twice, first to pursue doctoral studies and then to transform the manuscript from dissertation to book. I am grateful to my parents Guðmar Magnússon and Ragna Bjarnadóttir, who have supported me with warmth and enthusiasm. My deep appreciation goes to Sigrún Siverson for being our guardian angel in the West. I thank my spouse Rög
