About the author
Special gratitude to God the Father for the gift of life, the Son for
his abiding love and the Holy Spirit for his inspiration. Indeed it
is not from chance that our comfort and success spring (Pss 37;1–
21). Profound thankfulness to the Blessed Virgin Mary for her
maternal love, graceful presence in my life, vocation and
academic journey. I am indebted to my dad and mom (Mr.
Bwesigye Gabriel and Mrs. Bwesigye Tumubweine Maria
Goretti); my siblings: Polycarp Twesigye, Alex Ninsiima and
Justus Mubangizi; and Pelagia Kwesiga our adopted sister. Their
sacrifices, support, love and prayers have shaped the person that
I am today.
Heartfelt thankfulness to my Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Callist
Rubaramira (Kabale Diocese – Uganda) for the opportunity he
offered me to deepen my knowledge of the bible, through biblical
sciences and biblical theology and for his constant paternal
support to achieve the same. I am grateful to Msgr. Lazarus
Kabasharira (R.I.P) for his inspirations to me, to my brother
priests and the lay faithful of Kabale diocese for their love and
brotherhood.
Particular recognition to Bishops Francis Aquirinus Kibira and
Joseph Eciru Oliach for having oriented me in the biblical
languages, biblical studies and for their continual encouragement
in this academic journey. Great thanks to the professors at the
Pontifical Biblical Institute (Rome) for the good foundation they
offered me in biblical sciences. I am pleased to be associated with
the biblical theology department of the Gregorian University in
Rome. I thank Prof. Michael P. Maier, for having inspired me to
study the theme concerning Ebed-melech, the Cushite. I
recognize with profound thankfulness the contribution and
expertise of Prof. Nuria Calduch-Benages under whose timely
intervention like Deus ex machina, precise and punctual
guidance I concluded this research. I am equally grateful to her
for honoring me with a preface to this monograph and for
motivating me to advance in biblical research. I also thank Prof.
Elzbieta M. Obara for her constructive observations and
recommendations. Thanks to Prof. Luca Mazzinghi who presided
over the panel that assessed this study.
Through the pastoral office, I thank the Archbishop of Milan
Archdiocese, Mons. Mario Delpini, for having welcomed me into
his diocese. I recognize the Conferenza Episcopale Italiana and
the Gregorian University, through their sponsorship schemes, for
their financial help toward the completion of this research.
Exceptional credit to don Adelio Mario Brambilla (Milan
Archdiocese) and signor Eracchio Isella, for their financial,
spiritual and moral support in every step of this academic
journey.
Joyful recognition of my friends from Parrocchia Santo
Spirito, Città studi (Milan); the parish community of
Sant’Antonio Abate (Valmadrera) for financial and moral
support. Thanks to don Isidoro Crepaldi, parish priest of the
latter and don Tommaso Nava his assistant, for having granted
me the right atmosphere that I needed in the final phase of this
research. A lot of thanks to signor Nicola Perego the president of
Fondazione Mons. Giulio Parmigiani, administration, staff and
tutti gli alunni for their support, love and friendship. My services
with you and among you as a volunteer teacher and professor
have enriched my human and professional formation.
Earnest thankfulness to Pastor Thomas Wieners and the
friends of Pfarrgemeinde St. Marien Wassenberg (Diocese of
Aachen) for their support and for facilitating the deepening of my
knowledge of the German language. I recognize the contribution
of don Antonino Savino (parish priest), don Felice Lambardi and
the parish community of Concattedrale di Maria Assunta
(Policastro Bussentino); Don Giosùe Lombardo (parish priest)
and friends from the basilica of Santa Croce (Torre del Greco).
Thanks to the rectors (P. Claudio Sant’Angelo and P. Giuseppe
Guerra) and community of convitto Leoniano (where I stayed
from October 2014 to June 2018) and the priest-students’
community, esp. Frs. James Muriithi Wairi and Isaac Sogli
Chorikawe, for their friendship and moral support.
To all my university colleagues and friends (Fr. Dr. Michael
Kodzo Mensah; Rev. Frs. John Makoni, Gonzalo Martìn
Bartolomé, etc.), thanks for your love, support and prayers. Many
people have notably contributed to the success of this study. It is
impossible to mention everyone by name, but I am sincerely
grateful to all of you my friends and I pray for you.
Heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Matthew Levering, who despite the
heavy schedules, generously and attentively proofread this
publication. I am grateful to signor Roberto Sole and signor
Giuseppe Sole of Libreria Sole (Rome) for their generous
assistance in typesetting this book. Finally, but not least, sincere
appreciation to Peter Lang publishing group, especially the
editors of African Theological Studies for publishing this research
in their esteemed series.
