"As the very first commencement of every good thing, so likewise the progress, continuance and confirmation, nay, even the perseverance in good, are not from ourselves, but from God through the Holy Spirit" — James Arminius
Dr. Brian Abasciano’s Dissertation on Rom. 9:1-9 Now Available at SEA
Dr. Abasciano’s doctoral dissertation is concerned with an in-depth exegesis of Rom. 9:1-9 with special attention to the OT background as it relates to Paul’s argumentation. It was the basis of his first book in an on going series on Romans 9 (the second volume on Rom. 9:10-18 is expected to be published sometime in 2010, or perhaps 2011). Dr. Abasciano takes a corporate view of election and his dissertation constitutes a very important study of the way that Paul’s understanding and use of the OT sheds light on a proper understanding of his argument and view of election in Romans 9.
