A great theologian, a brilliant man. He will be missed. His book “The Transforming Power of Grace” is the best book out there about grace written from a broadly Wesleyan perspective.
Here’s a lecture he gave a few years ago at Seattle Pacific University about classical Christianity.
Here’s a fun account of someone (a Calvinist!) who went to Oden’s house uninvited in order to meet him.

I never met him, but about half of my seminary professors had him for class and came under his influence.
I never met him, wish I had.
My current pastor had Ben Witherington as a professor / mentor. So that’s kinda cool. :)
