Dr. Phil Ryken, Professor of Theology and President of Wheaton College & Graduate School, studied Greek under Gerald Hawthorne at Wheaton College and has authored numerous expository commentaries along with topical studies such as Art for God’s Sake: A Call to Recover the Arts.

“Exegetically Speaking” is a weekly podcast of the friends and faculty of Wheaton College, IL and The Lanier Theological Library. Hosted by Dr. David Capes, it features language experts who discuss the importance of learning the biblical languages—Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek—and show how reading the Bible in the original languages “pays off.” Each podcast lasts between seven and eleven minutes and covers a different topic for those who want to read the Bible for all it is worth.
