It was 2005 and I was in my second year of study for my M.Div. at Erskine Theological Seminary. I had completed my Hebrew coursework and it was time for me to take an Old Testament book study. Without hesitation, I signed up for Dr. Culver’s course on the Pentateuch. If you ever had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Douglas Culver then you’ll understand what I mean by saying he was what some call, “The Genuine Article”. Not only did he possess a vast amount of knowledge in his field of expertise, he also had a wide array of life experiences and a great amount of practical wisdom for both life and ministry. The wonderful thing about his courses was that he brought all of his knowledge, wisdom, and practicality with him to the classroom and shared it with his students. He died and went home to be with the Lord in January of 2007 and I am so grateful I was blessed to be one of his pupils. It was in Dr. Culver’s class on the Pentateuch, that I remember hearing what was not only one of the best lectures, but was also one of the great teaching moments of my life thus far.
