Religious Figure

The Resume

    (April 24, 1915- )
    Born in United States
    Protestant preacher and theologian
    Has written extensively on Christian living and the 'end times' aka eschatology
    Books include; 'Things to Come,' 'Design for Discipleship: Discovering God's Blueprint for the Christian Life,' and 'Your Adversary, The Devil'
    BA from Hampton-Sydney College, ThM and ThD from Dallas Theological Seminary, all degrees were awarded Magna Cum Laude

Why he might be annoying:

    Believe it or not, that is his real name.
    Despite his name, he is not a member of the Pentecostal religion, but is rather a Presbyterian.
    He hates the Catholic Church, referring to it as Romanism and Catholics as Romanists.
    His beliefs are a hodgepodge of twentieth century protestant ideas, describing himself as premillenial, pretribulational dispensationalist. Whatever the hell all that means.
    According to his theology, Christians will be 'raptured' away before the end times, so why is he worried about the end times?

Why he might not be annoying:

    Before his wife's death, they were married for over sixty years.
    He has taught at his alma mater, Dallas Theological Seminary, for over fifty years.
    For thirty of those years, he pastored a church full-time.
    His integrity is unquestioned and he has never had any type of scandal attached to his name.
    He is probably the leading authority among protestant fundamentalists on Christian eschatology.
