In 2001 I wrote this ‘Laudatio’ for David Demson for a special issue of the Toronto Journal of Theology marking his retirement. The TJT have kindly made this open access. Those mourning David’s passing and remembering his life and work might find something in it.

Really sad news coming out of Wycliffe College today with the passing of David Demson. Anyone who reads Barth in English (especially in North America) is greatly indebted to him. wycliffecollege.ca/about/news-m...
The cloud of witnesses adds to their number
"It is with deep sadness that we learned of the death of Professor David Demson yesterday. David was a devoted and beloved member of the faculty at Wycliffe College for nearly twenty years.

I’ve used these with students over the years in relation to theology and the Enlightenment. They are are three very rich with detail and insights. The Gillespie takes a long run at it from mediaeval nominalise, but the last three chapters are directly on the period.
