Brian Reynolds on Becoming "JND"

[@theresolutemind9538]

Thank you Shawn and Brian for this conversation. I’ve yet to make the decision to purchase MW’s Becoming JND. I had obtained a copy of Marsh & Fabio’s Discovering Dispensationalism and was disappointed in Weremchuk’s contribution. Similar to Brian’s experience, the Lord seized hold of me in a dramatic way in 1969. The Charismatic was everywhere, but I dug myself out rather quickly with the dear help of Miles Stanford. Miles quickly had me reading the best of Traditional Dispensationalism (Chafer, Newell, etc.) and the early Plymouth Brethren writers. I used a New Scofield Reference Bible for over a decade. Readers of Gribben and Weremchuk should keep in mind that both are not Dispensational (even in the Darby sense), but REFORMED, with high regard for the Puritans Divines and their law-centric systems. Puritanism dominated the evangelical Protestant world up to JND’s “recovery” of Pauline truths.

I would have thought that you would’ve mentioned that this was M. Weremchuk’s second book on Darby, or did I miss it?

[@RevReads]

I should have mentioned that.

Regarding MW’s “thesis,” I get the same FEELING Brian that he often ‘casts shade’ on Darby’s moral integrity and doctrinal beliefs. Max is ex-PB, German, and Reformed. He has many factors, IMO, for him to write (color) as he does. I’ll grant he’s 50X the scholar to myself. But none of us a purely objective.
