Dr. Lindsey possessed that quality in an individual which is difficult to find in the church today. His was a rare combination of heart and mind, faith and critical thinking. In Lindsey one could see this unique blend, both in his ministry and in his scholarship.
Lindsey autographs a copy of his new book, A Hebrew Translation of the Gospel of Mark, following the joint press conference that he and David Flusser gave at Baptist House (Oct. 19, 1969; photo: Kurt Ben-Joseph).

 Lindsey in a moment of reflection (circa 1975–1980; photo: Kurt Ben-Joseph). Following the death of Robert L.

Included in that issue were eight tributes to Lindsey written by his colleagues and students, including that of Steven Notley above. “How to Know Jesus?
