Leon J. Wood Totally Explained

Everything about Leon J Wood totally explained

Leon James Wood (1918-1977) is the author of one of the few books on the Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) as portrayed in the Tanakh as opposed to the B'rit Chadashah (New Testament), in which work he writes, "The evidence that spiritual renewal, or regeneration, was true of such Old Testament people lies mainly in two directions. One is that these people lived in a way possible only for those who had experienced regeneration, and the other is the avenue of logical deduction that argues back from New Testament truth."

Education

Wood was educated at Calvin Theological Seminary with graduate studies in Israel through New York University and at the Oriental Institute, Chicago. He received his Ph.D. degree from Michigan State University.

Legacy

The Seminary building of Cornerstone University's Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, where Wood taught Old Testament Studies for many years (1946-1975) and served as Academic Dean (1952-1973), is named the Leon J. Wood Seminary Building in his honor in 1977.
From 1973 to 1978, Wood served as a translator/editor on the project which resulted in the creation of the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible.
Wood is best known for his advocacy and promotion of the controversial "gap theory" of Creation Science and his spirited defence of the plenary inspiration of Scripture. Several of Dr. Wood's books were published in the two or three years following his 1977 death.
