Dr. robert I. Vasholz

Professor Emeritus of Old Testament

Dr. Vasholz served for three years as Director of Admissions, Assistant Dean of Students, and as an Instructor in Hebrew at Covenant Seminary before being appointed to the faculty in 1975. His creative approach to learning Semitic languages is evident in his study guide, Hebrew Exercises: A Programmed Approach, as well as in his language teaching. Dr. Vasholz's Jewish heritage gives him a unique and valuable perspective on Old Testament studies, both in language study and in practical, apologetic application.

In addition to a number of articles, his publications include Data for the Sigla of the BHS, The Old Testament Canon in the Old Testament Church: The Rationale for Old Testament Canonicity, Pillars of the Kingdom: Five Features of the Kingdom of God Progressively Revealed in the Old Testament, and a new commentary on Leviticus. Though Dr. Vasholz retired in 2007, he continues to serve God's people through his teaching, preaching, and publishing projects.
