Gerhard Franz Hasel (July 27, 1935–August 11, 1994) was a Seventh-day Adventist theologian, and Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Theology as well as Dean of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University.^[1]

Biography

Hasel was born on July 27, 1935 in

Adventist Theological Society from 1990-1992.^[6]

Hasel's childhood experiences in Nazi Germany are recounted in the book A Thousand Shall Fall, written by his younger sister, Susi Hasel Mundy. He married Hilde Schafer, who also survived the war. Gerhard and Hilde had 3 children: Michael, Melissa, and Marlena. Hasel died in a car accident in Utah in 1994.^[7]

Theology and research interests

Hasel had a research interest in the theme of the remnant. He wrote the "Remnant" article for the

Anchor Bible Dictionary article on the remnant.^[8] Hasel also had an interest in both biblical archaeology and biblical theology. Hasel argued that "the Biblical theologian draws his categories, themes, motifs, and concepts from the Biblical text itself," as compared to the systematic theologian who "endeavors to use current philosophies as the basis for his primary categories or themes."^[9]

Hasel was also known for his conservative views. Hasel espoused a "high view" of inspiration and was opposed to the use of the "purely"

historical-critical method of Biblical scholarship.^[10]

Works

He authored Old Testament Theology: Basic Issues in the Current Debate and New Testament Theology: Basic Issues in the Current Debate where he suggests there are ten different methodologies at use in the history of Old Testament Theology.

Remnant
