Watch Out for Yourselves, the Flock and the Wolves

Watch Out for Yourselves, the Flock and the Wolves
Acts 20.28-38

‘I received an email this morning from a man I have never met. He has been studying a particular subject, and has come upon an article I wrote 25 years ago. In it, I quote a line from the scholar I was discussing (Ernst Käsemann, the great Tu?bingen New Testament professor, as it happens), but for some reason I didn’t give the reference so that he could follow up the quotation. Could I please help him?

Now in theory it might be possible. I do have boxes and boxes of old papers gathering dust in an upper room somewhere. They have followed me over the nine moves of house, five of job, and two of continent since I wrote that article. But I have no idea which box the relevant notes are in, and I am not minded to go and start looking. And trying to work through all Käsemann’s published output looking for a single and fairly typical sentence is like looking for a particular pebble on a large and shingly beach. So, sorry, but the reference is unlikely to appear for a day or two yet...
