Bruce Waltke - Theistic Evolution Controversy


July 2010

Bruce Waltke, professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando resigned this spring over controversy stirred by comments he made in a video posted at the website of BioLogos Foundation, a theistic evolution think-tank headed up by Peter Enns, former professor of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. Waltke said, “I think that if the data is overwhelming in favor, in favor of evolution, to deny that reality will make us a cult, some odd group that’s not really interacting with the real world.” Shortly after resigning from RTS, Waltke was hired by Knox Theological Seminary. For an analysis of Waltke’s low view of Scripture see the following article: http://luxlucet.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/the-evolving-waltke-controversy/ For an analysis of others involved in the theistic evolution think-tank BioLogos and more details on the Waltke controversy see the following:
