Overview
Ashland Theological Journal, Volume 34.
Top Highlights
“We do not think that God is ontologically limited as in process theology but that God voluntarily self-limits so that freely chosen loving relations would be possible.” (Volume 34, Page 40)
“One of the most insightful commentaries on the book of Psalms is entitled, The Vitality of Worship, by Robert Davidson. The title is a bit misleading. The subtitle is more accurate, A Commentary On the Book of Psalms.” (Volume 34, Page 91)
“Thus the persons of the Trinity are equal both in essence and in status. Any argument for subordination within the eternal Trinity leaves itself open to charges of Arianism or tritheism.” (Volume 34, Page 74)
“Unlike the English word ‘helper,’ it never has the sense of subordinate” (Volume 34, Page 68)
“In this instance ʾādām is plural, referring to both male and female” (Volume 34, Page 63)

Dr. David W. Baker is a professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages at Ashland Theological Seminary in Ohio, where he’s taught since 1986, following teaching assignments at the University of Durban-Westville and the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. He’s also lectured in Argentina, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Dr. Baker has a particular interest in pedagogy, constantly exploring new means and media to enhance the learning and teaching experience for both the instructor and the student. He has contributed to, edited, or written over 40 books, including Isaiah in the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary, The NIV Application Commentary: Joel, Obadiah, Malachi, and Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch. Forthcoming books include Genesis 37–50: A Handbook on the Hebrew Text in the Baylor Handbook on the Hebrew Bible Series, 1 & 2 Kings in the Teach the Text Commentary Series, Genesis in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary Series, and 1 & 2 Samuel in the Believers Church Bible Commentary Series.
He’s blessed with a wife, Morven, who immigrated to Canada from Scotland—a start that prepared her to support Dr. Baker in his geographical wanderings. Morven is a counselor specializing in women’s issues, specifically sexual abuse and domestic violence. Together, they have two children and three granddaughters.
