Gregory K. Beale Resources
October 12th, 2007 by James GrantGregory K. Beale is the Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies and Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College graduate school. He has been on the faculty since 2000. In the Fall of 2010, Dr. Beale will leave Wheaton Graduate School to become Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. You can watch a video interview with him about this decision. The WTS press release is here.
Beale’s work in the area of biblical theology is very helpful, especially in relation to the way in which in New Testament uses the Old Testament. I was first introduced to Beale through his book Right Doctrine from the Wrong Text? Essays on the Use of the Old Testament in the New. Eventually I listened to his New Testament Theology lectures from Gordon-Conwell [see one of the links below]. It was an eye-opening experience in terms of the eschatology of the New Testament. The best introductory article for Beale’s theological structure is “The Eschatological Conception of New Testament Theology,” in Eschatology in Bible & Theology: Evangelical Essays at the Dawn of a New Millennium [an abbreviated and revised version has been re-published in Biblical Theology: Retrospect and Prospect, edited by Scott J. Hafemann].

Dr. Beale is an excellent speaker and teacher. I gain so much when I listen to anything in his audio library.
His work on the book of Revelation is the ultimate. No one has come out with a more comprehensive yet understandable exegesis of this book.
