BREVARD CHILDS is dead at the age of 83. The Yale Divinity School has an obituary:
Brevard S. Childs, an iconic figure in biblical scholarship, dies at 83

Brevard S. Childs, one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of the 20 th century, died Saturday afternoon in New Haven at the age of 83 from complications from injuries sustained in a fall in his home.

[...]
As noted in the obituary, St. Andrews Divinity postgraduate Daniel Driver has a Brevard S. Childs website with lots of additional information. Daniel also has a blog, Occasional Publications, whose most recent post is a tribute to Childs.

Requiescat in pace.
