Author Information

ROY B. ZUCK (1932-2013) is Senior Professor Emeritus of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary where he has served in various professorial and administrative positions since 1973. A former executive vice-president for Scripture Press in Wheaton, Illinois, Zuck has always had a passion for solid, Bible-based publications in the realm of Christian youth ministry education. He has written or edited hundreds of books and journal entries and currently serves as the editor of the oldest theological quarterly in the western world-Bibliotheca Sacra.

Biography

Roy B. Zuck was born on January 20, 1932, in Phoenix, Arizona, the older of two children. His father, Gale Vinton Zuck, worked as an installer for the Phoenix Tent and Awning Company throughout Zuck's childhood. His mother's maiden name was Hazel Leona Bendure. His parents were believers but rarely attended church.

The earliest spiritual influence in young Zuck's life came from his grandfather, John Arnold Zuck. John took an interest in his grandson at an early age and led him to the Lord at an evangelistic meeting. Zuck quickly developed a love for Scripture and believed God was calling him into a lifetime of ministry at age 11. During his freshman year of high school, Zuck was so anxious to begin his Bible training that he wrote Biola University in La Mirada, California, to request an application for admission. Biola told him to wait a couple of years before applying.

When Zuck finally arrived at Biola in 1949, he was fully prepared for study. He held the position of president of the student council his senior year and served as the class speaker. During his time on the student council, Zuck met his wife, Dottie, who was also a member of the student council. Zuck graduated cum laude at the top of his class in 1953.

Zuck and Dottie were married on July 24, 1954. Dottie was born in Springfield, Missouri, and moved to Tucson, Arizona, when she was 12. The Zucks have a son and a daughter. Barb is the oldest child and lives in Louisiana with her husband and three children. Their son, Ken, lives in Texas with his wife and three children.

Immediately after receiving his B.A. from Biola University, Zuck moved to Dallas, Texas, to attend Dallas Theological Seminary. He completed his Th.M. in 1957, majoring in Old Testament, and wrote his thesis on the imprecatory Psalms. Zuck stayed at Dallas Seminary to fulfill his doctoral work. During his two years of doctoral residency, Zuck assisted Professor Howard Hendricks as a teaching fellow. He wanted to do something that combined theology and Christian education for his Th.D., so he wrote his dissertation entitled The Place of the Holy Spirit in Teaching (1961) which was published by Scripture Press in 1963. This book has been revised and published several times over the years and is presently in print under the title Spirit Filled Teaching . Since receiving his Th.D., Zuck has pursued graduate studies at Northern Illinois University (1973) and North Texas State University (1977).

Zuck left Dallas for Chicago in 1959 where he spent 14 years working for a publishing house. He believed that spending a few years in the publishing business would provide good preparation for his future career in Christian education. Scripture Press, based in Wheaton, Illinois, hired Zuck to head up the Youth Programs editorial department, which he led for six years. He also served as executive vice president of Scripture Press ministries from 1965-73. His experience at Scripture Press laid a foundation that promoted Christian education and placed it at the forefront of Zuck's thinking.

In 1973, Zuck was beckoned back to Dallas. After 14 years of editing, Zuck was eager to reenter the academic world as a teacher or administrator at a Christian institution. He was close to accepting a teaching job at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago when John Walvoord, the President of Dallas Theological Seminary, called and convinced Zuck that God wanted him in Dallas. Zuck started his teaching career with Dallas Seminary as assistant academic dean and associate professor of Bible exposition. After serving four years as assistant academic dean, he was given the position of associate academic dean. In 1985 Donald Campbell became president of Dallas Theological Seminary, making Zuck the academic dean. Roy Zuck served as academic dean until 1992 when he was made department chairman and senior professor of Bible exposition. He remained in this position until his retirement from Dallas Seminary in 1996.

Six months after moving to Dallas in 1973, the Zuck family experienced a traumatic and character-building time of uncertainty. While visiting Wheaton, Zuck's 17-year-old daughter Barb was seriously injured in a car accident. The book " Barb, Please Wake Up!": How God Helped a Couple through Their Daughter's Long Recovery from a Nearly Fatal Auto Accident (1976) is Zuck's description of the year-and-a-half ordeal. Zuck candidly explains the shock and anxiety that gripped his family. Throughout the experience, Zuck and his family grew closer to each other as well as to God. Upon the recovery of his daughter, he had a stronger reliance upon God. This book exposes the tender heart of Zuck, which is full of gratitude and compassion.

Contributions to Christian Education

Zuck's philosophy of Christian education was shaped by a variety of sources. The aforementioned influence of his grandfather may have been the strongest, because it was his grandfather who led Zuck to Christ and got him started down the road of ministry. At Biola University, J. Vernon McGee's sense of humor and ability to make the Bible come alive nurtured Zuck's insatiable appetite for the Word of God. A major reason that Zuck chose Dallas Seminary for his graduate education is because he knew that McGee spoke at the school every year as a Bible conference speaker. While Zuck was attending Dallas Seminary, Howard G. Hendricks sparked his interest in Christian education. Hendricks, who founded the Christian education department at Dallas Theological Seminary, asked Zuck to be his first teaching fellow. The duties of this position included teaching, clerical work, and general assistance. Hendricks first introduced Zuck to Scripture Press. Two books that provided an initial understanding of Christian education for Zuck were Lois Lebar's classic Education That is Christian (1958) and Teaching for Results by Findley B. Edge (1956).

Zuck defines his philosophy of Christian education as "the process of organizing and teaching God's truth in such a way that is communicated clearly, creatively, and with relevance so that people apply it to life." Zuck's greatest joy in Christian education is seeing God's Word change lives. He also enjoys watching young people give their lives to Christ and serve Him.

Evangelical Christian education recognizes the Word of God as the sole source of authority. Zuck firmly believes that future educators need to beware of passing trends. It is important to keep an eternal perspective and realize that strategy and technique are weak compared to clear biblical training. Therefore, Christian educators should commit themselves to being faithful to God's Word. The teacher's main responsibility is to ground each student in God's Word. A biblically modeled institute of Christian education will always be committed to the local church. The primacy of Scripture is an unmistakable staple in Zuck's ministry.

Throughout his ministry, the spiritual state of the teacher has continued to be a major concern for Zuck. Teachers are ineffective if they do not have a personal relationship with Christ and are not walking in daily fellowship with Christ. They are in no position to lead others. The factors that make Christian education distinct are "the centrality of God's written revelation, the necessity of regeneration and the ministry of the Holy Spirit." Zuck has no concept of Christian education that does not focus on the spiritual welfare of the teacher.

Classroom teaching was Zuck's forte. Through the use of creative teaching techniques, Zuck successfully got students involved in the learning process. His knack for getting students involved was most aptly demonstrated in his famed application assignments. In these written tasks, students were required to write four paragraphs describing what they would do as a result of what they learned. The student was not permitted to begin sentences with phrases such as "Christians should." The assignment had to start with "I will." Zuck intentionally designed his courses so that he could model numerous teaching methods and styles. Students often tell Zuck that his classes taught them as much about how to teach as they did the subject being taught. Hendricks described Zuck as the pacesetter on the Dallas Seminary campus.

Zuck set the standard for class notes handed out by professors. Before Zuck, the duplication department on campus typically copied five to ten pages of notes for most professors. In contrast, Zuck required one or two inches of notes. This explosion of notes led the duplication department to place a ceiling on the number of notes allowed by each professor. Detailed notes are now standard for most classes on campus. Zuck was also one of the first professors on the Dallas Seminary campus to develop fully the effectiveness of audiovisual media and the overhead projector. Zuck used the overhead projector to appeal to the visual learners of his classes.

From the time Zuck gave his life to Christ in Phoenix, God has used him to reach thousands with the clear teachings of the Word of God. Zuck's mentor, colleague, and friend, Howard G. Hendricks, has described Zuck as a brilliant student with an incredible ability for detail. Faithfulness and dependability have marked Zuck's character. His discipline, organizational skills, and ability to set clear-cut goals are the essential ingredients that have allowed him to produce an incredible amount of high quality literature. The uncompromising prominence Zuck assigns to Scripture and his undying devotion to Christ, combined with all of the above-mentioned attributes, made Zuck the Christian educator.

Roy Zuck's career has been widely recognized. He was listed in Outstanding Young Men in America (1965), National Register of Prominent Americans (1987), Who's Who in Texas Today (1987), Who's Who in American Education (1991-92), Who's Who in the South and Southwest (1992), National Directory of Distinguished Leadership (1994), and Who's Who Among American Teachers (2000). In 1970, Zuck was named the Alumnus of the Year at Biola University. He has also been a member of the Board of Directors of TEAM, The Evangelical Alliance Mission (1968-95, 1996-99).

The speaking ministry of Roy Zuck has impacted crowds, congregations, and audiences all over the world. Zuck has spoken at more than a dozen schools overseas. His ministry has taken him to 43 countries. He has spoken at many churches, conferences, and chapel services. Zuck has always been a student favorite in Chafer Chapel, the campus chapel at Dallas Theological Seminary.

Throughout Zuck's career a large amount of time and effort has been devoted to writing. Zuck's achievements with a pen may stand as his greatest lasting legacy. Zuck has an extraordinarily large body of work on both the authoring and editing side of writing. When Zuck was a young teen, he observed a pastor in his neighborhood who regularly handed out a two-sided paper written on biblical topics. The impact of the printed page intrigued Zuck. Through the medium of print, the teachings of God could be permanently captured and distributed to large groups of people. This was the spark that ignited Zuck's significant writing ministry.

In terms of authorship, Zuck has been prolific. He has edited, co-edited, or written over 70 books. Zuck has personally authored 17 books. Zuck loves the challenge of editing, but he especially enjoys the control and freedom that come with authorship. Zuck's most popular book is the two-volume Bible Knowledge Commentary (Walvoord & Zuck, 1983, 1985). This commentary addresses every verse in Scripture. Zuck and Walvoord co-edited this project over a period of five years. Zuck had the major responsibility of refining the work of 32 writers. The set has sold nearly half a million copies and has been translated into 10 languages. Zuck has also written a number of popular Christian education books, including Teaching as Jesus Taught (1995), Teaching as Paul Taught (1998), and Spirit-Filled Teaching (1998).

The writing ministry of Dr. Zuck extends far beyond books. In addition to his experience with books, Zuck has contributed equally in the realm of journal articles. He has written over a hundred articles for more than a dozen periodicals. He has edited for Bibliotheca Sacra, the theological journal of Dallas Theological Seminary, since 1974. Zuck began his career with Bibliotheca Sacra as associate editor, a position that he held until 1985 when he was made managing editor, and he has been the editor from 1986 to the present. Zuck has recently written several tracts for the American Tract society.

The life, ministry, and influence of Roy Zuck are closely connected with his love for God. Zuck has worked tirelessly to afford his students the opportunity to clearly receive the Word of God in a way that can be practically applied to life. He has assisted thousands of students in drawing closer to God. Through Zuck's students, his pure Biblical teachings will be passed on to another generation. His writing ministry will serve students for decades and beyond.

Addendum: Roy B. Zuck passed away on the evening of Saturday, March 16, 2013. Dr. Zuck's life and service to Dallas Theological Seminary were marked by an unquenchable thirst for God's Word and a passion for helping others know Christ better through the scriptures.

Excerpts from Publications

Zuck, R. B. (1982). Zuck, R. B. (1982). Application in biblical hermeneutics and exposition. In D. K. Campbell (Ed.), Walvoord: A tribute. (pp. 15-38). Chicago: Moody Press.

Principles, often stated in single sentences, serve as bridges between interpretation and application. Latent in the text, they summarize the essence of a Bible passage in terms that are applicable to a broad spectrum of readers and situations. (pg. 26)

Zuck, R. B. (1991). Basic Bible interpretation. Wheaton: Victor Books.

Neglecting to apply the Scriptures reduces Bible study to an academic exercise in which we are concerned only for interpretation with little or no regard for its relevance for and impact on our lives. It is wrong to think of the Scriptures as only a sourcebook for information, as a book to be examined merely for the knowledge we can gain from it. Of course knowledge of the contents of the Bible and correct interpretation of it are essential. But more is needed. We must have a responsive heart, a willingness to appropriate the truths of the Scriptures into our own experience. (pg. 279)

Zuck, R. B. (Ed.). (1994). Vital theological issues: Examining enduring issues of theology. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications.

Inerrancy and hence infallibility are characteristics of the Bible's original manuscripts, but not of the Bible interpreters. The manuscripts were inerrant because of the Holy Spirit's guarding and guiding the writers record what He wanted recorded, word for word. (pg. 44)

Zuck, R. B. (1995). Teaching as Jesus taught. Grand Rapids: Baker Books.

Jesus was extensively involved in teaching. He was widely known as a teacher, and much of what he did was to teach. A number of verses, however, point to his involvement in preaching. Are we wrong then in presenting him as a Teacher? Is there a difference between preaching and teaching, or are these referring to the same activities? (pg. 92)

Zuck, R. B. (Ed.). (1996). Rightly divided: Readings in biblical hermeneutics. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications.

Theoretical knowledge of the content of the Bible, while absolutely indispensable, does not in itself automatically guarantee spiritual development. More is neededâ€”a responsive heart with a willingness to appropriate the truths of the Scriptures into one's own experience. (pg. 278)

Zuck, R. B. (1997). The speaker's quote book: Over 4,500 illustrations and quotations for all occasions. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications.

A pat on the back develops character, if administered young enough, often enough, and low enough. (pg. 49)

Zuck, R. B. (1998). Teaching as Paul taught. Grand Rapids: Baker Books.

Can spiritual maturity be measured? How do we know if our students are maturing in Christ? Paul's writings include sixty-four references to numerous traits of spiritual qualityâ€”attributes that should characterize a growing Christian. They may be grouped according to their relationship to God, to others, and to circumstancesâ€¦For a helpful devotional study, look up these verses, perhaps taking a few each day, and ask the Lord to help you increase in each of these areas and to help your students do the same. (pg. 117)

Zuck, R. B. (1998). Spirit-filled teaching: The power of the Holy Spirit in your ministry. Nashville: Word Publishing.

In teaching, the Holy Spirit operates on (or activates) both the written Word and students: one He animates and the other He illuminates. Teaching, then, is the broader term and includes the revealing and animating of the Word, along with the illuminating of the hearts and minds of believers. (pg. 46)
