Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love, he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved (Eph. 1:3-6).

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

NIGERIA METHODIST EVANGELICAL LEADER, Very Revd Olukuade @90: Celebrating His Commitment to the Truth of an Inerrant Bible.

Few theologians and leaders are as thoroughly and pervasively Christo-centric as Very Rev Solomon Adebayo Olukuade. His exegesis, theological reflection, and pastoral application are grounded in the truth of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. The Methodist Evangelical Movement (MEM) is deeply indebted to Very Rev Olukuade’s relentless yet loving articulation of the truth of biblical inerrancy. When people on both sides of the Atlantic have argued that the notion of an inerrant biblical text is indefensible and out of touch with the discoveries of contemporary biblical criticism, Very Rev Olukuade has held his ground. He has done it with...
