User:Schluum/John H. Walton (theologian)

John H. Walton is a professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College. He formerly was a professor at Moody Bible Institute for 20 years. His primary focus is in areas of comparison between the Old Testament and the Ancient Near East, particularly Genesis. He espouses a view of creation that resonates with ancient near eastern mindsets, much like a temple dedication ceremony, and not a strictly material account of cosmological origins.
