Over the years, we’ve been blessed to sit under the teaching of Dr. Walter Kaiser many times at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove. His understanding of the Old Testament is deep and rich, and his passion for – and trust in – the inerrant Word of God is unrivaled. I’m excited that his expository teaching is being preserved in these books for current and future generations. I believe this series will be referenced for many years to come as a definitive examination of key Old Testament heroes of the faith.
-Will Graham, VP & Associate Evangelist of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and Executive Director of the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, N.C.
Nearly thirty years ago I met Dr. Walter C. Kaiser, Jr. at a seminary where we both worked, I as a fledgling administrator and he as a distinguished professor. Over time, we began to serve more closely together, one of the blessings of my vocational life. I saw in Walt Kaiser not only a careful scholar but also a godly soul. His reputation as one of the leading Old Testament minds of the past several generations is matched by his deep love for Scripture and his abiding commitment to the Church. This series on biblical character studies will be a great resource for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the Bible, and as you read it consider with gratitude the giant of a scholar and servant who wrote these words.

I consider Dr. Walter Kaiser to be one of the great theological thinkers today. I have been following his career and writings for some 50 years. He writes with amazing and comprehensive accuracy in dealing with the Biblical texts. He does it with a total commitment to the trustworthiness of the Bible. His writing is filled with keen insights. He also provides amazingly accurate interpretation and solid applications. He is a master preacher and his practical writings are filled with practical applications. I have been recommending all of his writings from his very first books.
