How Not To Do Scholarship
Gary responds to an article written by a Vanderbilt professor that uses outdated information to make her argument. The professor quotes from Dr. Bruce Waltke in a 1968 Christianity Today article about abortion (Dr. Waltke has since changed his view) to dismiss Christians opposed to climate change. If it sounds ridiculous and confusing, it's because it is. But it's the state of modern "scholarship."

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of Wisdom, Part 1: Proverbs
Proverbs, read through the lens of Bruce Waltke’s insight, emerges as a cohesive invitation to embrace wisdom that is both deeply reverent toward God and profoundly grounded in everyday conduct. It never treats spirituality as a detached ideal but insists that the divine presence informs every corner of human life, from business dealings and family relationships to governance and the care of the poor. The book’s internal refrain—“The fear of I AM”—resonates as a heartbeat, insisting that genuine knowledge and moral discernment hinge on humbling oneself before the Lord who both creates and sustains the universe.

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gifts of Return, Restoration, and Reform: Ezra-Nehemiah
Waltke’s inquiry of Ezra-Nehemiah centers on the recognition that these post-exilic texts are far more than ancient historical records. They define an active moment of restoration when a covenant people return, renew their worship, grapple with foreign authority, and reaffirm their identity under God’s sovereign guidance. Throughout, the narrative shows a community building not only its religious and social institutions, but also its spiritual capacity to endure. God’s faithfulness emerges clearly as empires and conditions shift. Persian kings become instruments of divine will, genealogical records connect the present to the past, and the Law supplies a bluepr...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of Providence: Chronicles and Esther
Waltke’s "Chronicles" gives a sweeping historical narrative that spans from the creation in Genesis to the elevation of King Jehoiachin during the Babylonian exile in 560 BC. This period includes notable events in salvation history, such as the tumultuous aftermath of the Babylonian exile in 586 BC, where the land redistribution and leadership changes led to political instability. Gedaliah's assassination by Ishmael and the subsequent defiance of Jeremiah's prophecy illuminate the chaos of the time, culminating in further tragedy as leaders fled to Egypt and were killed by the Babylonians. Moreover, the struggles of the returnees are clearly depicted in th...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of God's History-Shaping Word, Part 2: 2 Kings
Waltke's discussion on 2 Kings investigates the theological and account difficulties of the progression from Elijah to Elisha, affirming the deliberate slowing of the narrative pace in the Elisha cycle (2 Kings 2:1–8:15) to allow for a stronger research of God's nature and Israel's faithfulness. Central to this study is the glorification of the divine name "I AM," asserting God's sovereignty and active presence among His people. Elisha's numerous miracles deliver as authenticating acts of God's universal authority, demonstrating both His wrath against the proud and unfaithful—such as the mauling of jeering youths—and His compassion through acts like feeding the hungry...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of God's History-Shaping Word, Part 1: 1 Kings
Waltke's inquiry of 1 Kings displays a thorough probing of Israel's decline from Solomon's golden age to the devastation of exile. He attributes this downfall primarily to the kings' failure to uphold their covenant with God (I AM). Despite their considerable military and political power, these kings mistakenly believed that their strength secured their authority. In disagreement, the prophets, though lacking physical might, materialized true spiritual power through their words, signs, and wonders. Waltke affirms that the prophets were God's genuine instruments, reflecting His covenants with Abraham, David, and Moses, and pronouncing blessings or curses based on Israel's obedience. Central...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of Kingship
Waltke’s analysis of Israel’s kingship asserts its divine groundwork while questioning its ramifications. He argues that Israel’s monarchy shares similarities with neighboring cultures, especially in the practice of divine election, where prophets like Samuel anointed kings such as Saul and David. This process culminates in John the Baptist anointing Jesus, proclaiming Him as the final fulfillment of Israel’s kingly hopes. Waltke highlights that Israel’s monarchy was intended as a covenantal institution, with kings serving as God’s representatives, yet often corrupted by human ambition. Besides, he contradicts Saul and David's paths to kingship, noting that while S...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of the Davidic Covenant: 2 Samuel
Waltke's analysis of 2 Samuel presents David's life as a central account in salvation history, pointing out the complicated interaction between divine faithfulness and human imperfection. Waltke divides the book into two main sections: "The Rise of David" (chapters 2-8) and "The Decline of David" (chapters 9-20), with an appendix (chapters 21-24) musing on David's reign. David's ascent to power is indicated by divine favor, culminating in God's covenant, which promises an eternal dynasty. However, this covenant is soon tested by David’s sins—his adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband, Uriah. These actions lead to a seri...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of True Strength: 1 Samuel
Waltke's introduction to the book of Samuel observes the serious historical and theological shifts that play a climactic role in shaping God's kingdom. Waltke identifies three "tectonic shifts" that redefine Israel’s particularity: the relocation of worship from Shiloh to Jerusalem, the conversion from the judges' leadership to David’s eternal kingship, and the transformation of Israel from a tribal confederation into a unified, dominant kingdom. These shifts are not just historical milestones but are imbued with powerful theological relevance, foreshadowing Israel’s evolution from a geopolitical entity to a spiritual, heavenly one. In addition, Waltke points out that the ac...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of Warlords: Judges
Waltke's inquiry of the Book of Judges analyzes its theological and historical consequence, maintaining the desideratum of a fixed moral and spiritual judgment point, as suggested by Pascal in his "Pensées." Waltke contends that Judges demonstrates Israel's need for a covenant-keeping king, rather than relying on charismatic but flawed warlords like Samson. Despite Samson's supernatural strength, his leadership fails to deliver Israel, representing the nation's moral chaos without a true king and the apostate house of Levi as spiritual guides. Moreover, Waltke delves into the title "Judges," explaining that the Hebrew "sopetîm," traditionally translated as "judges," could be...

Waltke's chapter on the Sworn Land delves into its canonical context, tracing its motif from the Old Testament to the New Testament. He emphasizes the Hebrew term ’areṣ (land/earth) as decisive for biblical interpretation, theology, spiritual life, and politics, particularly regarding the Jewish state's claim to Palestine. This term's acumen is vital for conveying God's counsel, validating theological systems, nurturing spiritual life, and addressing political meanings. Waltke critiques American fundamentalists and evangelicals who support Israel based on a literal interpretation of biblical promises to Abraham, arguing that this perspective exacerbates geopolitical tensions and historical tragedies. Also, in the New...

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of Land, Part 2: The Old Testament
Waltke probes the relationship between the Jewish people and their land, maintaining their meticulous preservation of scriptures, even those chronicling their persistent ingratitude toward God. This paradox points out a perplexing relationship, indicated by devotion despite acknowledged failures. The Old Testament situates God's kingdom on Israel's land, with Jerusalem as its epicenter. Scholars like Moshe Weinfeld and Gerhard von Rad reiterate the land's theological gravity, implanted in human yearning for home and safety. Walter Brueggemann adds that "place" furnishes historical continuity and identity. Moreover, Waltke explores the theological consequence of the earth in Genesis 1-11, repeating God's benevolence and...

Waltke's inquiry of the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua dives into the theological and historical prestige of Israel's expedition and conquest of the Promised Land. He begins by accentuating the significant moment at Horeb, where God commands Israel to proceed to the Promised Land, directed at the generation that survived the wilderness, with Joshua leading them. The connection between Deuteronomy and Joshua is analyzed by the transformation of leadership and the continuity of God's promises, with themes from the Pentateuch converging in Joshua, affirming the climax of salvation history.

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke - The Gift of I Am: Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy is crucial in Old Testament theology, underlined by J. Gordon McConville as a crucial theological document. The title "The Gift of I AM" reflects its rich seeking of God's nature and the divine-human relationship. Historically, its influence is unparalleled, installing standards like universal education and well-being. Central to the Primary and Deuteronomistic histories, Deuteronomy shapes narratives and theological evaluations in books like Samuel and Kings. Gerhard von Rad notes that Israel's history is judged based on Deuteronomy’s principles, underscoring covenantal failures and guiding exilic ruminations. Its theological impact extends to prophets like Jeremiah, whose messages are heavily dr...

Waltke acknowledges that Bible readers often begin with enthusiasm due to the appealing narratives of creation, the Fall, and the Exodus, but struggle with the detailed legal texts in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. These changerovers can be difficult as the account flow is interrupted by tangled legal and ritual instructions. Waltke's chapter aims to elucidate these instructions, making the text more understandable. He outlines a structure for analyzing these laws, including the connection between Mount Sinai and the Tabernacle, the nature of liturgy, and the relationship between liturgical practices and ethical behavior.

Central to Waltke's discussion are the Mosaic (Sinai) Covenant and the superior New Covenant inaugurated by Jesus Christ. In addition, in exploring the Sinai Covenant, Waltke maintains its foundational role in establishing Israel as God’s chosen nation, governed by divine laws, notably the Ten Commandments. These laws, directly communicated by God, set a groundbreaking framework for ethical monotheism and universal justice, contrasting with the legal traditions of the ancient Ne...

Waltke offers a deep interpretation of the Exodus narrative, presenting it as a multifaceted demonstration of God's power and sovereignty. He views the liberation of Israel from Egyptian bondage as not just a historical event but a pivotal moment in the divine narrative. For Waltke, this event signifies a transformative shift where the Israelites transition from subjugation under a mortal ruler to serving the supreme divine authority, I AM. The liberation, therefore, is both a physical emancipation and a spiritual reorientation, marking the establishment of a covenant relationship between God and His people. In addition, Waltke asserts the narrative's...

He skillfully bridges the chosen seed motif in Genesis with the emergence of a nation under divine guidance in Exodus. The seamless continuity of God's promise to multiply and establish His people is pointed out, with a particular focus on the narrative and theological divisions within Exodus, encompassing themes of redemption, preservation, covenant ratification, and worship at Sinai. In addition, Waltke provides a detailed examination of Moses' divine election and life, reiterating the irony and narrative techniques that repeat...

This interpretation not only highlights the covenantal relationship God establishes with humanity but also scrutinizes the role of faith and obedience in cultivating this relationship. Besides, in Genesis, the election of Abraham and his descendants as the chosen seed forms the crux, illustrating how through them, God intends to bless all nations.

To him, the story is more than a simple account of punishment; it addresses profound themes such as human arrogance, divine judgment, and the hope for renewal. He views the flood as God's response to human corruption, setting the stage for a reformed world through the establishment of covenants that offer both protection and promise.

Waltke presents an extensive biblical commentary on marriage and gender roles, affirming that creation narratives in Genesis define the foundational roles for men and women within God’s redemptive scheme. Humanity, created male and female, is tasked with Earth's stewardship as a reflection of divine purpose. Marriage, ordained pre-Fall, holds a pivotal role in this pattern, symbolizing God's covenant and acting as the prime context for nurturing godly offspring. In addition, Waltke holds that while men and women are equally made in God's image, the Scriptures point to functional distinctions. He interprets the roles assigned in Genesis as normative: me...

Waltke's theological work explores the central biblical assertion that humans are created in the image of God and are tasked with meaningful roles in accordance with God's divine plan. This framework informs our understanding of identity and purpose, suggesting that a lack of reflection on these matters can lead to an unfulfilled existence and underutilized potential. Furthermore, Waltke challenges traditional Christian interpretations that limit the image of God to non-physical traits, such as rationality or spirituality.

He sees the narrative as portraying a cosmic drama where God, as the sovereign savior, transforms chaos into an ordered cosmos, emphasizing ethical monotheism. In this worldview, God is the supreme authority, humans are his regents, and the earth is both a domain to be stewarded and a testament to God's rule.

Waltke's exploration of biblical theology indicates the significance of poetics and intertextuality in understanding biblical texts.

Waltke maintains the distinct narrative styles of biblical authors, noting their preference for circular patterns over the linear approaches common in modern writing.

Waltke provides a comprehensive analysis of biblical interpretation, maintaining the necessity of recognizing narrative forms within Scripture to truly grasp its meaning.

Narrative criticism requires examining the text from the viewpoint of the narrator, focusing on character development, plot, and setting.

Narrative theology disputes into the theological implications contained within the stories, exploring the messages they impart about God's nature, will, and relationship with humanity.

Waltke offers an intricate study of Old Testament theology that navigates the tension between faith and reason in understanding scripture. He identifies the limitations of human reason in comprehending the divine mysteries of faith, suggesting that belief systems often move beyond the sphere of rational explanation. His approach to biblical interpretation, termed an "accredited hermeneutic," reiterates the necessity of maintaining a balance between divine inspiration and human composition present within the Bible.
