This course, offered during Spring School 2003, aims to introduce the student to the Book of Proverbs and to apply the book's wisdom to specific areas of life. The introduction will consider among other things the sage's epistemology; a definition of his terms "wisdom," "fear of the Lord," "Woman Wisdom," and his theory of religious education.

This series offers an outline of the origins of creation, sin, restoration and the covenants from the perspective of Biblical Theology. The conclusions are based on a careful exegesis of the first eleven chapters of Genesis according to Dr. Waltke.

A Pagan Notion?

Genesis

A Commentary

Exploring a misunderstood area of Christian concern, Bruce Waltke asks, "Can we ever know God's will?" He examines many practices that Christians pass off as divine guidance - following hunches, casting lots, looking for signs, and others - and suggests that such practices actually bear an unsettling resemblance to the ways pagans seek divine guidance. Waltke gently shows readers that the truest course to the will of God is found instead in faithfully answering the call to walk close to the Lord and be conformed to his likeness.

This landmark commentary marshals the vast experience and brilliant insights of one of today's most revered Old Testament scholars. To those familiar with the work of Bruce K. Waltke, the significance and value of Genesis will be instantly apparent. Others who are unfamiliar with Waltke have only to read the first few chapters to understand why he has earned the reputation of a scholar's scholar, and why this masterful volume stands like a monolith among Old Testament commentaries.

Essays in Honor of Bruce K. Waltke

Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax

Wisdom has defined Bruce K. Waltke, both as one of his personal qualities and as the core of his many years of biblical study, invoking the highest efforts of his formidable intellect and etching itself indelibly on his character. The Way of Wisdom displays a level of scholarship and insight in keeping with Bruce Waltke's high academic standards, and a breadth of outlook reflective of his own broad grasp of God's Word and its application to all of life.

Meeting the need for a textbook for classroom use after first year Hebrew grammar, Waltke and O'Connor integrate the results of modern linguistic study of Hebrew and years of experience teaching the subject in this book. In addition to functioning as a teaching grammar, this work will also be widely used for reference and self-guided instruction in Hebrew beyond the first formal year.
