• N.T. Wright - While his focus isn't primarily on the "divine council" theme that Heiser was known for, Wright is well-respected for his work on New Testament scholarship, particularly the historical Jesus and Pauline theology. He approaches scripture with a deep historical and cultural context, much like Heiser did with Old Testament studies.
• John H. Walton - Walton specializes in Old Testament studies with an emphasis on the cultural and literary context of the Ancient Near East, which aligns with Heiser's approach to understanding scripture through its original cultural lens. His work on Genesis and the nature of the spiritual world might resonate with those who appreciate Heiser's insights.
• Tremper Longman III - Longman has contributed significantly to the study of Old Testament, focusing on literary analysis and the theological implications of the text. While not identical in focus, his respect in evangelical circles and depth of biblical scholarship make him a notable figure.
• Scott Hahn - A Catholic theologian but widely respected across denominational lines for his biblical theology and his work on covenant theology. Hahn's approach to scripture integrates theological reflection with scriptural exegesis, which might appeal to fans of Heiser's integrative methods.
• Craig S. Keener - Known for his extensive work on the New Testament context, especially miracles, the historical reliability of the gospels, and Acts. His thorough academic approach and prolific writing might those who respect Heiser's scholarly rigor.
• Darrell L. Bock - A New Testament scholar who's well-regarded for his work on Jesus, Luke-Acts, and progressive dispensationalism. His engagement with contemporary theological issues from a scholarly perspective might attract similar interest.
• Douglas Moo - For those interested in Pauline studies and New Testament theology, Moo's meticulous scholarship and respect in evangelical circles make him noteworthy. His work might not cover the supernatural elements like Heiser, but his methodological rigor in biblical interpretation is comparable.
• Alistair E. McGrath - Though more known for his work in historical theology and the relationship between science and religion, McGrath's ability to engage with complex theological ideas in an accessible manner might resonate with those who followed Heiser's work.
