Reformed scholar Gordon Wenham dies

Tributes are being paid to renowned Biblical scholar Gordon Wenham, who has died.

Wenham, born in 1943, was a Reformed British Old Testament theologian and writer, and was once described by US academic Tremper Longman as “one of the finest evangelical commentators today”.

Writing on social media, L. Michael Morales, professor of Biblical Studies at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, South Carolina, said: “Peacefully in his sleep … Gordon J. Wenham entered the glories of heaven. To be with Christ is better by far. I thank the LORD for his godly example and fruitful scholarship.”
