Theology and research interests
-------------------------------

Hasel had a research interest in the theme of the remnant. He wrote the "Remnant" article for the *[International Standard Bible Encyclopedia](/wiki/International_Standard_Bible_Encyclopedia "International Standard Bible Encyclopedia")*. His book on the subject is one of just four references listed in the *[Anchor Bible Dictionary](/wiki/Anchor_Bible_Dictionary "Anchor Bible Dictionary")* article on the remnant."Remnant". *Anchor Bible Dictionary* V:669 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."Merrill, E. H. (2015\). Archaeology And OT Theology: Their Interface And Reciprocal Usefulness. *Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society*, 58(4\), pp. 667\-678

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](/wiki/Historical-critical_method "Historical-critical method") of Biblical scholarship.G. Hasel, *Understanding the Living Word of God* (Mountain View, Cal.: Pacific Press, 1980\), 24\-28
