Featured Interview With Paul D. Weaver
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am originally from Columbus, IN but presently live abroad (Hungary). I am the Director as well as a Professor of Bible and Theology at the Word of Life Bible Institute in Tóalmás, Hungary. I am a graduate of Appalachian Bible College (B.A., Theology), Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M., Bible Exposition) and am currently working on my doctorate at Baptist Bible Seminary (Ph.D., Biblical Studies). Prior to becoming the Director, I served 4 years as the Academic Dean. I have taught Bible and Theology for 13 years. I have contributed articles to the “Popular Encyclopedia of Church History” as well as “The Journal of Ministry and Theology.” He is the author of “Introducing the Old Testament Books,” “Introducing the New Testament Books,” and is presently editor for an upcoming book in the same series: “Surveying the New Testament Books,” which is to be released in 2016.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I became an avid reader, but really did not begin loving reading until I was in my early 20’s. I started writing about four years ago. My first writing assignment was a couple articles for the “Popular Encyclopedia of Church History.” After that I realized that I have a gift for writing and enjoy it thoroughly.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I primarily read christian books on theology or biblical studies. I have been greatly influenced by the writings of Charles Ryrie, Roy Zuck, Thomas Constable, D.A. Carson, Moses Silva, and Kevin Vanhoozer.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I just finished “Introducing the New Testament Books.” It was the product of my teaching and PhD studies. It will be a textbook used for our Old Testament Survey course.
