His attempts to convey this research to varied audiences, often non-specialists, has led him to search out imagery that will make even involved ideas more intuitively accessible. One such metaphor is that of cultural \u201cbackpacks.\u201d Dr. John Walton, Old Testament Professor Emeritus at&amp;nbsp;Wheaton Graduate School, is a frequent contributor to this&amp;nbsp;podcast. He has many volumes in his \u201cLost World\u201d series along with many other publications, including (with Andrew Hill),&amp;nbsp;A Survey of the Old Testament&amp;nbsp;(4th&amp;nbsp;ed.). He is currently collaborating with Dr. Aubrey Buster in preparing a major commentary on Daniel (NICOT). The first volume on Daniel 1-6 is already available, and the second volume on Daniel 7-12 is on the way. &amp;nbsp; Check out related programs at Wheaton College:  B.A. in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew): https:\/\/bit.ly\/4daJ6cH&amp;nbsp; M.A. in Biblical Exegesis: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3OYI4bK&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Exegetically Speaking","author_url":"http:\/\/exegeticallyspeaking.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41162380\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/41162380"}
