• Novum Testamentum Graece (NA27), Wide-Margin Edition

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on June 24, 2011 • ( 0 )

  I recently received in the mail a wide-margin edition of NA 27 (Nestle-Aland 27th edition). For those of you who know the Greek New Testament by color of the cover, it is the “blue” edition. Anyway, Christianbook.com (CBD) has them available for… Read More ›

• Evangelicalism Divided

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on June 24, 2011 • ( 0 )

  

  I am reading Iain Murray’s book, Evangelicalism Divided: A Record of Crucial Change in the years 1950 to 2000. It is both a fascinating and sad read, since it basically explains how pragmatism infiltrated the local church and continues to influence ministry today. Murray… Read More ›

• ΜΟΡΦΗ in Codex Sinaiticus

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on June 7, 2011 • ( 0 )

  

  I am auditing a class in New Testament textual criticism that I never was able to take during my Ph.D. studies. Today in the seminary Reference Room, we worked with several different copies of various kinds of manuscripts. The seminary… Read More ›

• Tim Cappucci on Ecclesiastes

  Tim Cappucci, pastor of Community Bible Church of Sweet Valley, Pa, was the speaker at our men’s retreat this past weekend. Tim spoke from Ecclesiastes 9:1-11:6 on how we are to live in light of life’s uncertainties. He did a great job…. Read More ›

• A note on ἐφάπαξ: Once for all!

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on May 4, 2011 • ( 1 )

  I preached this past Sunday on Hebrews 10:1-10. I became a bit overwhelmed as I came to the close of the message with the fact that Jesus died for me “once for all” (10:10). Perhaps it is because in Sunday… Read More ›

• A warning from the past regarding Neology

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on April 14, 2011 • ( 0 )

  I have been reading the life of Charles Hodge written by his son, Archibald Alexander and published by Banner of Truth. It is a different kind of biography, containing personal letters and excerpts from his journal with his son filling… Read More ›

• Rob Bell taken apart by secular press

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on March 24, 2011 • ( 2 )

  Rob Bell, the controversial emergent church pastor, has written a very soon to be released book on Heaven and Hell in which (apparently) his views on universalism are made clear. Writing books is an inherently dangerous proposition. You open up… Read More ›

• The amazing life and ministry of George Whitefield

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on March 14, 2011 • ( 0 )

  

  I am currently reading the 2 volume biography of George Whitefield by Arnold Dallimore, published by Banner of Truth. I am captivated by his life and ministry. I think if I ever teach a pastoral theology class I will require… Read More ›

• A note on προοργίζω

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on March 1, 2011 • ( 0 )

  John Eadie is one of my favorite commentators and this morning I came across once again his superb commentary on the verb προοργίζω in Ephesians 6:4. Paul exhorts fathers not “to provoke” their children to anger. Eadie’s comments are those… Read More ›

• A note on παροξυσμός in Hebrews 10:24

  By Dan Fabricatore, Ph.D. on March 1, 2011 • ( 4 )

  I am preaching through Hebrews and as I worked through 10:19-25, I came across a little used noun that has been driving me a bit crazy. In 10:24, the writer to the Hebrews exhorts his readers stating, “and let us… Read More ›
