In writing a book on debt, I should begin by acknowledging my own indebtedness to many who have taught and inspired me while I have been working on this project. My colleagues and students at North Park University should be recognized first. I have had many conversations about the main ideas of this book in my ethics classes, and they have strengthened and sharpened my arguments. I also would like to recognize my debt of thankfulness to North Park Library and its wonderful staffs. I have requested a countless number of ILL (interlibrary loan), and they supported my research in a best way. Among the staffs, Steve Spencer, Theological and Cataloging Librarian, has particularly helped me greatly. Special thanks should also be given to Baylor
