Matthew 28:16-20 Reconsidered
Posted by L.G. Parkhurst in Bible, Christianity, Jesus on June 1, 2010
It has come to my attention that recently there has been some discussion of a short article or comment I wrote for The Expository Times in March of 1979. It has also come to my attention that the article is difficult to find. Therefore, you can see The Expository Times cover and read the article by selecting these links:

Matthew 28:16-20 Reconsidered by L.G. Parkhurst, Jr.
I learned about this recent discussion from a blog entry by Nick Norelli:
Bowman’s Understanding of Matthew 28:17. I was not aware that my comments had been discussed in commentaries subsequent to my writing the article until I read these blog postings. Thank you Nick!
I do hope these comments on Matthew 28:16-20 will be helpful. It is interesting to me at this time to think back that I met Dr. Francis Schaeffer in Rochester, MN in late 1978, and recommitted myself to teaching historic biblical Christianity in one of his meetings in January of 1979. Shortly thereafter, I wrote the above comment for The Expository Times and began a writing and editing ministry in April of 1979. I cannot help but be amazed at the providence of God and give thanks to Him for the blessing of being called to serve Him since my renewed commitment to Jesus Christ in 1979. To learn about some of the lessons I learned from Francis Schaeffer visit: The L’Abri Network.
Love in the Lamb of God,
