Summary
In a recent Dividing Line broadcast, Dr. James White, critiqued my view of 1 John 5:1 and my reference to an article written by a member of the Society of Evangelical Arminians, who cited the esteemed Greek/Arminian scholar, Dr. Brian Abasciano. Dr. Abasciano graciously agreed to join us on the program today to personally address White's errors himself.
Brian J. Abasciano earned his Ph.D. in divinity from the University of Aberdeen, pastors at Faith Community Church in Hampton, New Hampshire, and serves as an adjunct professor of New Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. More from Dr. Abasciano can be found at www.evangelicalarminians.org.
