He was Professor of Old Testament at Goshen Biblical Seminary and its successor, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminaries, from 1959 until his retirement in 1998. Lind is remembered by several generations of Mennonite church workers and pastors for his love of the Old Testament texts, his teachings on the Pentateuch and the prophets, and for his life-long inquiry into themes of state violence and power from an Old Testament perspective. Among his published writings are a study of Old Testament warfare, Yahweh Is a Warrior (1980), and of capital punishment, The Sound of Sheer Silence and the Killing State (2004).
