New dakes bible
But in recent years, the Bible, published by Dake’s descendants in Lawrenceville, Georgia, has come under fire from evangelical, Pentecostal, and African-American leaders who say that some of the author’s more than 35,000 commentary notes, taken from his 1949 book God’s Plan for Man, are racist, heretical, and contradictory." In prison, Dake reportedly began writing his biblical commentary. "controversial reference work was written entirely by Finis Dake, who gained notoriety in the 1930s as a flamboyant pastor, convicted of violating the Mann Act in connection with transporting a minor across state lines for immoral purposes.All the used Dake Bibles being sold for really high prices is like giant pink elephant turds, and no one admitting that they have a pink elephant, because pink elephants are Pentacostal you know. I have learned to pay more attention to what is NOT said if I really want to understand some big truth. If I lay out a Dake and a Bullinger Companion Bible, I often have enough lesson appropriate information in front of me that a sermon could be written with no other resources. And I feel that it overlaps with some of the plagiarism and acceptable sources and citation stuff being discussed in other threads.Ī busy pastor can take a Dake list and immediately turn it into a quick sermon. And for so few people using the Bible, there are so many sales, even of used copies. underneath that, there is far more that is the same.įor so little to back it up, there is so much hate.
Sure it is right there in our faces, but. Awhile back, I started a thread discussing that there is sometimes more deeper overlap between Baptist and Assembly of God than there is between Baptist and reformed.
It is just that I have never heard of a commentary by a Pentecostal spoken of with such hate, and I have seen books written by conservative dispensationalist Pentecostals that are read by Baptists that do not even know the author is Pentecostal. The grandchildren had the notes retyped and slightly editted and enlarged into a 3 column format. I found a message board, but people are more interested in selling mint condition old 4 column Bibles, than discussing the Bible content and studying it.
