Yet situating that language in its cultural context and noting a Babylonian parallel to one of those phrases points to a corporate frame of reference. Dr. John Walton , Old Testament Professor Emeritus at Wheaton Graduate School , is a frequent contributor to this podcast. He has many volumes in his \"Lost World\" series along with many other publications, including, Genesis (NIV Application Commentary) . He is currently collaborating with Dr. Aubrey Buster in preparing a major commentary on Daniel (NICOT).
