I was personally in awe of Dr. Greenlee having read his New Testament Textual Criticism during my undergraduate time and struggling to wrap my mind around it. His heart for scholarship was only surpassed by his heart for people. I recall him sharing of a trip to Africa he was going on to teach at a Seminary and I was humbled by his passion to train the next generation of pastors from around the world. He was so gracious to me when he asked me about something I said when I had opportunity to preach. Even though he knew the Greek language better than I understood English, he was patient and interested in the things that I said. I recall several conversations we had on topics I was interested in in which he had extensive knowledge. I am a better man and a better pastor for having crossed paths with him.David Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-29652037877052646462015-12-09T21:24:37.741+00:002015-12-09T21:24:37.741+00:00I knew Dr. and Mrs. Greenlee when he was a guest p...I knew Dr. and Mrs. Greenlee when he was a guest professor and Greek at Taylor University. I was also impressed by his commitment to Jesus and by his humility. We hadn't known of his academic reputation until we heard a rumor that he was considered one of the top ten Greek scholars in the world. When we confronted him about that, he thought for a minute. and replied, "Well, there are about nine that are really superlative, and maybe I'm the tenth."Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-5096963352543299102015-04-13T14:11:10.519+01:002015-04-13T14:11:10.519+01:00Dave Black (who edited the Festschrift for J.H.

Greenlee) commented on his "blog": <br /><br />Just a quick note to say that I was blessed to have attended Harold Greenlee's memorial service in Ft. Myers, FL, this weekend. Harold held a Harvard doctorate, was a professor of New Testament and Greek for many years, and a scholar who put his considerable erudition at the feet of Jesus in service to the nations. That the latter point should be worth mentioning is in itself a remarkable thing because all of us so-called New Testament scholars should be about the Father's main business. I want to thank David Greenlee for his invitation to attend. If ever a man accepted the demands of life with grace and humility, it was Harold. Simply put, he lived for others. May the Lord make His face to shine upon Harold's widow Ruth and bring sunshine and peace to their household every day. <br /><br />http://www.daveblackonline.com/blog.htmPeter M.
