YouTube description

This is a repeat of our very first episode: Veteran interpreter Dr. John Walton describes the process of exegesis — from choosing a text, analyzing the genre and background, and grappling with the “linguistic core” — in this step-by-step explanation of how exegesis is done. Dr. John Walton, Old Testament Professor Emeritus at Wheaton Graduate School, has since become a frequent contributor to this podcast. He has many volumes in his “Lost World” series along with many other publications, including (with Andrew Hill), A Survey of the Old Testament (4th ed.). He is currently collaborating with Dr. Aubrey Buster in preparing a major commentary on Daniel (NICOT), of which the first volume (Daniel 1-6) is out.
