    About this ebook

    “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7). When a person’s life embodies the pursuit of wisdom, it bears among its fruits the deep love and respect of family, friends, and colleagues. Derived from The Way of Wisdom, a book honoring biblical scholar Bruce Waltke, whose personal character and biblical study alike display wisdom, this short piece explores what can be learned about wisdom from the fall of Satan. Displaying a high level of scholarship and broadly useful insights, Ronald Youngblood’s piece both stretches and informs. May you, the reader, benefit.

    Bruce K. Waltke: A Tribute

    This book is a mixed bag of essays, some exploring biblical texts, others digging into theological themes, but all related in one way or another to seeking and finding wisdom. Why the mix? Because all the writers are colleagues, associates, or former students of Bruce Waltke who have teamed up from their different disciplines to honor him with this collection on his seventieth birthday, August 30, 2000. The variety seems fitting for such a one as Bruce, a many-sided scholar in the Renaissance mold whose brilliance as a linguist, exegete, biblical and systematic theologian, preacher, teacher, and pastoral counselor has made its impact at many different levels. Insofar as Bruce’s work has a single core, however, it is the exegeting and expounding of the Old Testament generally and Wisdom literature specifically, hence the focus of the present collection.

    Bruce Kenneth Waltke, a man greatly beloved, is a humble, genial, unassuming believer in whom strength of mind, sweetness of character, deep devotion, and a bubbling sense of humor signally combine. His inflexible commitment to patient, persevering hard work and his equally persistent demand for large quantities of such work from his students make him an academic who strikes fear into faint hearts; on the other hand, his freshness of biblical insight and his silver-tongued fusion of head and heart have generated in most of those who know him a respect close to veneration. His learning is wide and is put to work by uncanny powers of concentration, which explains how, sitting at an airport gate one day, he managed to miss two flights home in succession, being so absorbed in a book that he did not hear the boarding call for either! Many of his peers would without hesitation rate him as one of the leading evangelical Old Testament scholars of our time.

    Bruce was born in New Jersey in 1930 to parents (Mennonite Brethren in Christ) whose deep commitment to Christ was accompanied by a profound affection for their children. His upbringing was thus a healthy and happy one. Personally converted at age eleven and active as a Christian from then on, he graduated from Houghton College (Wesleyan); studied theology up to the doctoral level at Dallas Theological Seminary (dispensational);
