Over his book, Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament. Crap! I was hoping they wouldn’t do this! He is such a wonderful professor, I can’t believe they did it. The seminary has lost someone who has helped conservatives understand the issues we face with the doctrine of inspiration and the OT and gave us a defense for it. Someone who introduced us to how the Bible is interpreted in this age of post-modernism and helped us to understand the similarities and differences between Second Temple Judaism and the NT writers in interpreting the OT. I deeply valued that class as much as I did my systematic theology classes and I am really upset that I probably will not be able to take Poetry and Wisdom with him.
It is a sad day in the history of Westminster Theological Seminary!
Update: Here’s the announcement we were sent.

Thank you very much for your prayers for the special meeting of the Board of Trustees that was held on March 26 to address the disunity of the faculty regarding the theological issues related to Dr. Peter Enns’ book, Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament. After a full day of deliberation, the Board of Trustees took the following action by decisive vote:
“That for the good of the Seminary (Faculty Manual II.4.C.4) Professor Peter Enns be suspended at the close of this school year, that is May 23, 2008 (Constitution Article III, Section 15), and that the Institutional Personnel Committee (IPC) recommend the appropriate process for the Board to consider whether Professor Enns should be terminated from his employment at the Seminary. Further that the IPC present their recommendations to the Board at its meeting in May 2008.”
