He was the recipient of several research grants: Horowitz Fellow, Scheuer Fellow, Rosenstiel Fellow, Association of Theological Schools Fellow, and Society of Biblical Literature Fellow.[3] He also was awarded with Alumni Achievement Award by Simpson College.[3][4]

Academic work

From 1960 to 1990 he worked as a professor at Wesley Theological Seminary, where he was appointed Professor Emeritus.

G. W. Buchanan was an author or editor of several books and was on the Editorial Committee and Editorial Advisory Board of the Biblical Archaeology Review.[5]

Views

G. W. Buchanan was one of the people who purported he change in thinking regarding the location of the Jewish Temple. He changed his thinking about the location when he realized there is no natural spring on / under the Haram esh-Sharif. The gihon spring is a siphon spring located 600 feet south of Al Aqsa Mosque, where the Ophel originally stood.[7]

Buchanan is one of the modern proponents that the Tetragrammaton YHWH was also pronounced Yehowah, contrary to the consensus that it was pronounced only Yahweh.[8][9]
