Professor emeritus, Dr.theol., Peder Johan Borgen, PhD.,
as he passes his 80th birthday on January 26. 2008.
It is great to see that he is still active both as a family man, as a member of his local Metodist church, and as an international scholar. Last November he attended the SBL Annual Meeting in San Diego, and even participated in a session on the Gospel of John. His latest publication -so far- is to be found in the volume published in connection with that event:
Happy Birthday, Peder!

Kära Peder
På östskandinavisk tunga framför jag mina varmaste gratulationer till dig på den 80-årsdag. Men så tillägger jag en sentens på grekiska som jag stötte på i yngre år och som jag hoppas att jag minns på ett korrekt sätt: sofois homilon kautos exeleusetai sofos. Jag är glad över att ha fått ta del av din vishet under många år. Ringa förenar sig med mig i mina gratulationer.

Gratulerer med dagen, Peder! Happy birthday, Peder.
Although my daily work is no longer filled up with Philo and the New Testament, that is where my heart is of course, thanks to you. Hopefully, I shall return.Warm greetings from Ellen, too.

Here in this part of the world January 26 is Australia day. But in Norway it must be Borgen day, in honour of Peder's great contribution to world-wide scholarship and to the intellectual life of his own country. Congratulations on reaching this milestone of biblical proportions. But Norway has a healthy if bracing climate, so we expect and pray that you will have many years to come, sharing your time between your books and your family.
Warmest wishes to you and Inger and the family
