Gregory Kimball Beale (born February 10, 1949, in Dallas, Texas; also known as G. K. Beale) is a biblical scholar, currently a Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas. [1] He is an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. [2] He has made a number of contributions to conservative biblical hermeneutics, particularly in the area of the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament and is one of the most influential and prolific active New Testament scholars in the world. He served as the president of the Evangelical Theological Society in 2004. In 2013, he was elected by Westminster Theological Seminary to be the first occupant of the J. Gresham Machen Chair of New Testament. [3] At his inauguration he delivered an address titled The Cognitive Peripheral Vision of Biblical Writers. [4]

In 2013, a Festschrift was published in his honor, called From Creation to New Creation: Biblical Theology and Exegesis. It included contributions by Richard J. Bauckham, Daniel I. Block, C. Hassell Bullock, D. A. Carson, Douglas J. Moo, and David F. Wells.
