He has held professorships in the Old Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary, Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida, and Knox Theological Seminary in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Waltke was born in New Jersey to parents in the Mennonite Brethren tradition. He received an A.B. from Houghton College, a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He has served as president of the Evangelical Theological Society, was on the translation committee of the New American Standard Bible〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Translators of the NASB )〕 and New International Version, and is an honorary member of the committee responsible for Today's New International Version. Waltke's books include ''Intermediate Hebrew Grammar'', ''Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax'', ''Finding the Will of God'', ''Creation and Chaos'', and commentaries on ''Proverbs'' (New International Commentary on the Old Testament, 2 vols.), ''Micah'' (Tyndale Commentary Series), and with C. J. Fredricks ''Genesis'' (Zondervan 2001, ISBN 978-0-310-22458-7), which was a winner of the 2002 Gold Medallion Book Award. He was co-editor for the ''Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament'', and he was the Old Testament editor for the ''Expositor's Bible Commentary'' series, the ''New Geneva Study Bible'', and the ''Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible''. He wrote ''An Old Testament Theology: An Exegetical, Canonical, and Thematic Approach'', which received an ECPA Christian Book Award in 2008. Waltke has travelled widely as a Bible expositor, as an area supervisor for excavations at Gezer, Israel, and as the director of field study trips to the Middle East and the Classical world. He is married and has three grown children. A ''festschrift'' entitled ''The Way of Wisdom: Essays in Honor of Bruce K. Waltke'' (Zondervan, 2000; ISBN 0-310-22728-3) was edited by J. I. Packer and Sven K. Soderlund. In April 2010, news reports emerged alleging that Waltke was asked to resign his professorship at the Reformed Theological Seminary because he advocated that evolution and Christianity were compatible in a video on the Biologos Foundation's website. However, the RTS chancellor, Ric Cannada, later stated that this was not the case and that Waltke had submitted his resignation without solicitation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statement from Chancellor Ric Cannada to the RTS community and beyond )〕 Waltke himself clarified things "Ric's acceptance of my resignation has only added to the emotional turmoil; I have received letters from many quarters condemning RTS for his action. In fact, I was asked to be interviewed about my resignation on ABC News with Diane Sawyer! Of course, I refused because I am certain it would have been spun to reflect negatively on RTS and the church. I find no fault with the RTS administration; in fact, I think they did the right thing."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Professor Bruce Waltke Posts An ‘Open Letter to the RTS Community’ on Facebook )〕〔(Bruce Waltke's entire letter ) 2010-04-12〕 Waltke now serves as an Anglican priest at a parish in Washington.〔http://www.advent.church〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruce Waltke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
