In this episode of Faithful Men, Dr. James Fazio takes us into the life and legacy of John Nelson Darby, the “father of dispensationalism.” Learn about Darby’s background, his theological convictions, and how his literal approach to Scripture shaped modern evangelical thought. We explore his influence on American theology, his connection to figures like C.I. Scofield, and which of his writings still speak powerfully today. Dr. Fazio also clears up common misconceptions about Darby and explains what the church can recover from his example. 00:00 Welcome to the Sound Words Podcast02:31 John Nelson Darby08:00 Dispensational Thought Before Darby09:01 The Father of Dispensationalism11:51 How Modern is Dispensationalism15:49 Darby in America18:19 Darby, Brooks, and Scofield21:46 Dispensationalism in Popular Media25:47 The Writings of Darby28:45 Really Understanding Darby Sound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE.
