What if the opening chapter of the Bible isn't telling you how God built the universe... but why he moved into it?Dr. John Walton has spent over four decades studying Genesis through the lens of ancient Near Eastern literature, and his conclusion has reshaped the way scholars, pastors, and Christians around the world read the creation account. In this conversation, Dr. Walton walks us through his groundbreaking argument that Genesis 1 is not a material origins story. It's not a science textbook. It's not answering the question "how did God make all the stuff?" It's answering a far more profound question: what kind of world is this, and what is our place in it?Dr. John Walton is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Wheaton College, where he taught for over two decades after 20 years at Moody Bible Institute. He holds a Ph.D. from Hebrew Union College and is the author of the bestselling Lost World series, Ancient Near Eastern Thought and the Old Testament, the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, and dozens of other works that have shaped evangelical scholarship for a generation.In this episode you will learn:- Why Genesis 1 is an account of order and function, not material manufacturing- What the Hebrew word "bara" actually does in the text and why "create" doesn't capture it- How the seven days map to a cosmic temple inauguration, not a construction timeline- Why Day 7 is the climax of the entire creation account and what divine rest really means- What ancient Israelites would have understood about the sun, moon, and stars that we completely miss- Why the phrase "the Bible was written for us but not to us" changes everything- How Walton responds to critics who say he's disconnected Genesis from real history- Why his framework removes Genesis from the science vs. faith debate entirely- What's new in his latest book, New Explorations in the Lost World of GenesisGUEST: Dr. John WaltonProfessor Emeritus of Old Testament, Wheaton CollegePh.D., Hebrew Union CollegeThe Lost World of Genesis One:https://a.co/d/07tltChHWheaton College Faculty Page:https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/john-walton/IVP Author Page:https://www.ivpress.com/john-h-waltonBioLogos:https://biologos.org/people/john-waltonSTAY CONNECTEDWebsite:https://www.johnnyova.comYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaThe Revelation Reset:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQMR4BH3

H3: Guess the Founding Father / Caps play-by-play announcer John Walton discusses how important Ovechkin playing another season is / Ovechkin isn't coming back for a farewell tour, he wants to win

Full Show - Friday 3 July 2026 with Tobi Altizer and Ben Strober in for the Junkies. The guys talk about USMNT and World Cup, the Nationals pitchers being suspended, Ovechkin signing for another year and the Wizards trade options. Guests include Caps play-by-play announcer John Walton and Mark Zuckerman of MASN.

In this conversation, John Walton explains why Genesis should be read trough its ancient Near Eastern context rather than as a modern scientific account. He shows how this approach can deepen faith and offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between the Bible and science.

Dies ist eine Übersetzung, die mit einer KI produziert wurde. Das Original in Englischer Sprache findet sich ebenfalls auf diesem Kanal. In diesem Gespräch erklärt John Walton, warum die Schöpfungserzählung in Genesis aus der Perspektive ihres altorientalischen Kontexts gelesen werden sollte und nicht aus naturwissenschaftlicher Sicht. Dabei zeigt er, wie dieser Zugang den Glauben stärken und den scheinbaren Konflikt zwischen Bibel und Wissenschaft neu einordnen kann.

The traditional translations of Gen. 2:24 have the man "leaving his father and mother," "clinging to his wife," and "becoming one flesh." The assumed frame of reference is that of marriage and sexual union. Yet situating that language in its cultural context and noting a Babylonian parallel to one of those phrases points to a corporate frame of reference. Dr. John Walton, Old Testament Professor Emeritus at Wheaton Graduate School, is a frequent contributor to this podcast. He has many volumes in his "Lost World" series along with many other publications, including, Genesis (NIV Application Commentary). 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.   Check out related programs at Wheaton College: B.A. in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew): https://bit.ly/42KEbKC  M.A. in Biblical Exegesis: https://bit.ly/3Rmomao

Due to his extensive writing and lecturing John Walton is recognized as a leading scholar on OT backgrounds. 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 "backpacks." Dr. John Walton, Old Testament Professor Emeritus at Wheaton Graduate School, is a frequent contributor to this podcast.

This week we opened Genesis 1 and 2 not as a science debate or a piece of poetry, but as something more specific: a temple-building text. Using the work of scholar John Walton, we traced how the six days of creation follow a forming-and-filling pattern, and how day seven is the moment God moves into what he has made. The cosmos is his temple. His rest is not exhaustion. It is delight. He settled in to be with his people.From there we looked at what it means to be made in the image of God. In the ancient world, kings placed statues throughout their kingdoms to announce their authority. Genesis says God did something similar, except his images walk around, eat breakfast, and drive to work. We are royal representatives, image bearers placed in the world to reflect God's rule into every corner of it.Genesis 2 zooms in close. God kneels in the dirt, forms a man like a potter works clay, and breathes into him face to face. The first human's lungs were filled with the breath of God. Then God plants a garden and places his image bearers in it with a commission: cultivate and spread it. Eden was the seed. The whole earth was the field.Three practices came out of this: receive your identity from God before the world tells you who you are, take the gardening commission seriously in whatever corner of life you have been placed, and understand that the whole story is moving toward one thing: presence. God with his people. That longing we feel for things to be right is not nostalgia. It is the image of God in us remembering the garden.Scripture references: Genesis 1-2, Psalm 132, 1 Kings 8, Colossians 1, 2 Corinthians 3, Revelation 21URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship

This podcast gives a few examplesof how the Messenger Malach מַלְאַ֧ךְ in the Hebrew Bible represented or “was” the One  who Sent him See also, podcast #130 “Agency in the Bible: The Human Person Jesus “was” the Father”https://youtu.be/s8FqSysuUGY Theprinciple or practice of the מַלְאַ֧ךְ malach messenger, the one sent. Understanding the Messenger principle is crucial to understanding how many “persons” God is. TheMessenger principle, both as a concept and a reality, means that a person's messenger—theone sent—is regarded as the sender himself.  The proverbialHebrew statement about the Messenger Principle is “השליח שווה לשולחו”the one sent (a messenger) is equal to his sender.” The equality of the onesent to his sender is neither an equality of essence nor of individual one-to-oneidentity. Everyone understood that the messenger was not literally the sameperson nor the same being as the sender. Rather, the messenger was given thesender's full authority to speak and act on his behalf. The messenger carried authorityfrom the sender and was therefore to be regarded as the sender himself. Old Testament scholar John Walton highlights aspects of messenger/agency in the ZondervanIllustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary when discussing the firstappearance of the angel (messenger) of Yahweh in Genesis 16 (to Hagar in thewilderness). Walton explains:In the ancient world direct communication between important parties was ararity. Diplomatic and political exchange usually required the use of anintermediary, a function that our ambassadors exercise today. The messenger whoserved as the intermediary was a fully vested representative of the partyhe represented. He spoke for that party and with the authority of thatparty. He was accorded the same treatment as that party wouldenjoy were he there in person. While this was standard protocol,there was no confusion about the person's identity (emphasis mine).[1] Judges11:12Jephthahsent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying,"What is between you and me, that you have come to me tofight against my land?"   וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יִפְתָּח֙ מַלְאָכִ֔ים אֶל־מֶ֥לֶךְ בְּנֵֽי־עַמּ֖וֹן לֵאמֹ֑רמַה־לִּ֣י וָלָ֔ךְ כִּֽי־בָ֥אתָ אֵלַ֖י לְהִלָּחֵ֥ם בְּאַרְצִֽי׃ 2 Kings3:7  (King Jehoram son of Ahaz after Ahabdied and Moab revolted)Then he(Jehoram) went and sent to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, "Theking of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me tofight against Moab?" And he said, "I will go up; I am as youare, my people as your people, my horses as yourhorses."   וַיֵּ֡לֶךְ וַיִּשְׁלַח֩אֶל־יְהוֹשָׁפָ֙ט מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֜ה לֵאמֹ֗ר מֶ֤לֶךְ מוֹאָב֙ פָּשַׁ֣ע בִּ֔יהֲתֵלֵ֥ךְ אִתִּ֛י אֶל־מוֹאָ֖ב לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶעֱלֶ֔הכָּמ֧וֹנִי כָמ֛וֹךָ כְּעַמִּ֥י כְעַמֶּ֖ךָ כְּסוּסַ֥י כְּסוּסֶֽיךָ׃ 1 Samuel 16:19Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and he said, "Send to meyour son David who is with the flock."    וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח שָׁא֛וּל מַלְאָכִ֖יםאֶל־יִשָׁ֑י וַיֹּ֕אמֶר שִׁלְחָ֥ה אֵלַ֛י אֶת־דָּוִ֥ד בִּנְךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֥רבַּצֹּֽאן׃ Isa7:10AndYHVH continued speaking to Ahaz, saying,   וַיּ֣וֹסֶף יְהוָ֔ה דַּבֵּ֥ר אֶל־אָחָ֖זלֵאמֹֽר׃

John Walton joins the show to discuss the Capitals playoff chances and the possible end of Alex Ovechkin's career.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: MAY 13, 2016Did God really create the world in six days, or is the Bible actually saying something subtly different? Did God make Eve from Adam's rib, or is that a misreading of the text? To discuss these and other absorbing questions arising from his fascinating-yet-controversial book, The Lost World of Adam and Eve, we are joined by Dr. John H. Walton, Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and Graduate School, Illinois. Analysing Genesis chapters 2 and 3 in the context of other Ancient Near East literature, Walton proposes literary and theological understandings of the "Adam and Eve" narrative that in some ways complement—yet in other ways challenge—traditional interpretations.Prior to his current position as Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and Graduate School, Dr. Walton was Professor of Old Testament at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for twenty years. Some of his other books include: The Lost World of Scripture, The Lost World of Genesis One, Ancient Near Eastern Thought and the Old Testament and The Essential Bible Companion.

Guests include: John Walton, Dave Jageler, and Chris Russell.

The John Walton, voice of the Washington Capitals, joins the show to break down the team's recent road trip, where Washington went 2–1 and showed signs of steadier play despite an up-and-down stretch in the season. He discusses key performances that helped stabilize the lineup, areas that still need improvement, and what the results mean for the bigger picture as the playoff race tightens. Walton also previews tonight's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers, who enter the game rested and looking to capitalize, setting up a challenging test for Washington as they look to build momentum down the stretch.

Final hour wraps with Sean McVay reflecting on his time in Washington and his relationship with Kirk Cousins, followed by discussion on potential landing spots and situations that would best suit the veteran quarterback moving forward. The focus then shifts to the Capitals as voice of the team John Walton breaks down their recent road trip and previews a key matchup with the Flyers, along with Chris Russell's reaction to the Caps' slim but still alive playoff hopes. The hour closes with Russell reacting to broader league conversations across the NBA and NHL, including controversial topics and the ripple effects across the sports landscape.

The show opens with a breakdown of the Washington Nationals following a difficult 13–2 loss to the Phillies, examining early-season struggles before shifting to NFL storylines involving Dan Quinn, whose comments on Jayden Daniels, David Blough, and the evolving Commanders offense spark analysis from Chris Russell. The conversation expands from the NFL Spring Meetings, where Quinn and general manager Adam Peters discuss how free agency has created added draft flexibility and what that could mean for Washington's approach at No. 7 overall, including evaluations of potential targets and positional value. The focus then shifts to breakout candidates and draft philosophy, with Peters addressing the idea of selecting a running back at No. 7 while also highlighting linebacker Sonny Styles as a name to watch, followed by reaction to the Commanders' new throwback uniforms and owner Josh Harris' comments on restoring the “W” logo and franchise identity. The show wraps with Sean McVay reflecting on his time in Washington and discussing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins' future landing spots, before moving to the Washington Capitals, where voice of the team John Walton breaks down their recent road trip and upcoming matchup with the Flyers as playoff hopes remain alive, with Chris Russell closing on broader league-wide storylines across the NBA and NHL.

In this episode I explore the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15:1-7 in which Jesus, directly responding to his critics, explains how his audience would leave ninety-nine sheep in the pasture to find one who had wondered from the flock, rejoicing when the wayward sheep is found. Jesus isn't telling a simple pastoral parable about God's grace, but drawing on powerful imagery from the Old Testament prophets, particularly Jeremiah 23:1-2 and Ezekiel 34, about the wicked shepherds of Israel who had led God's people astray and the promise that God would rescue his people from the curse of the covenant by sending a good shepherd, the promised son of David, to rescue the whole house of Israel. Luke believes the promises are being fulfilled in Jesus, the son of David bringing about the kingdom of God. I also discuss the need for Christians to keep wicked political leaders, modern false shepherds, at arm's length and how the modern nation-state called ‘Israel' only comprises members of two of the twelve tribes of Biblical Israel, meaning it is in no way a fulfillment of God's promises in the prophets.  Media Referenced:Mark 10 and Political Assumptions: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-244-mark-10-wrecks-modern-economic-and-political-assumptions/ Government is God's Servant: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-243-government-is-gods-servant-romans-13-isaiah-10-and-jeremiah-25/ Old Testament Prophecy w/ John Walton: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-109-understanding-old-testament-prophecy-with-john-walton/  The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Many of us find the Old Testament difficult to understand. Some find it incomprehensible, and some find it difficult to square with our modern sensibilities. We wonder if the Old Testament is irrelevant. Or we try to understand it and find it so confusing that we give up trying to read it.Our guest is one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of this generation. John Walton has spent his career engaging deeply with the Old Testament's text and understands the ancient context in which it was written.His latest book is Old Testament Theology for Christians: From Ancient Context to Enduring Belief (InterVarsity Press, 2025). In it, he invites us to leave our modern, and even our inherited Christian, preconceptions at the threshold as we enter the world of the Old Testament. We discuss:* How the New Testament writers viewed the Old Testament, and the danger of shirking our desire to understand it.* That since the Old Testament was written for us, it was not written to us. To fully comprehend the way that it is for us, we have to do whatever it takes to join the author's implied audience. We discuss the importance of delving into both the cultural and literary contexts.* The Israelites swam in the “cultural rivers” of the Mesopotamian and Egyptian religious ideas. Does this mean that the Old Testament is just a flawed human creation because it was influenced by its Ancient Near Eastern context?* From the beginning, God's intention has always been to dwell among his people and to be in relationship with them. Not only that, God makes plans and has purposes, and includes humans in his plan as fellow workers. How can this foundational relationship principle help us grasp all the stories of the Old Testament?* As Christians, we think the focus of faith is on salvation and eternal life. Therefore, we define our identity in those terms: “I'm saved and heaven bound.” The Israelites didn't see it that way. The substance of their faith was something else. What can we learn about authentic faith from their view of their relationship with God?Scroll down to learn more about John Walton.Thanks for listening!If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with your friends!Your hosts are Dr. Bob Robinson and David Loughney.

Download the free NO CONDEMNATION COMMITMENT: https://bit.ly/NC-commitmentOn the first day of Lent, John Ortberg invites us into a brave and deeply personal journey: giving up condemnation...and learning how shame actually works.This episode goes straight to the source. John traces condemnation back to its root system in shame, beginning in Genesis and moving through psychology, philosophy, trauma-informed theology, and lived experience. Along the way, he explores why our urge to judge others is often fueled by hidden pain in ourselves—and why healing starts when we stop hiding.You'll hear insights from:John Walton on Genesis and chaos imageryWarren Kinghorn on trauma and the first humansEleanor Stump on guilt vs. shameKurt Thompson on the “shame concierge” that narrates our inner livesJohn makes a crucial distinction:Guilt fears punishment and is healed by forgiveness.Shame fears rejection and is healed only by acceptance, love, and belonging.He introduces two invisible companions we all carry:a shame concierge that quietly judges every momentand a grace concierge—the Spirit—who reminds us we are God's beloved children.

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.
