A scholar of the Hebrew bible/Old Testament and related ancient Near Eastern texts, Walls is fascinated by the breadth, depth, and complexity of Old Testament Literature. He enjoys the privilege of helping students to become skillful interpreters of scripture, to appreciate the diversity of theological perspectives within scripture, and to reclaim the Old Testament's abundant theological imagination for the church's ministries today.
Before coming to the Wake Forest University School of Divinity in 2002, Walls served on the faculty of numerous schools, including Dartmouth, Colby, and Swarthmore Colleges. He most recently taught Old Testament studies for seven years in the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, where he won various research grants and teaching awards.
Walls is the author of two books, The Goddess Anat in Ugaritic Myth (Scholars, 1992) and Desire, Discord and Death: Approaches to Ancient Near Eastern Myth (ASOR, 2002). |
