John Whitcomb

Dr. John C. Whitcomb has been a professor of Old Testament and theology for more than 60 years, and is widely recognized as a leading Biblical scholar. He taught at Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Ind., from 1951 to 1990, and gained much recognition for his work on The Genesis Flood (Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company), which he co-authored with Dr. Henry Morris in 1961. This book has been credited as one of the major catalysts for the modern Biblical creationism movement.

Additionally, he has authored seven widely-circulated comprehensive Bible charts, numerous multi-media slides and more than 100 Biblical and theological articles. Major emphases in his teaching have been Biblical creationism, dispensational theology, premillennial eschatology and presuppositional apologetics.
