Rev. Dr. Brian J. Abasciano is a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity. He received his Ph.D. in Divinity/New Testament from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. He currently serves as an adjunct professor of New Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He also is the President of the Society of Evangelical Arminians.

In this segment, Brian helps me to see through the Arminian lens to contemplate the nature of God and the salvation he offers. Jacob's Arminius, the namesake of Arminianism, was far from a liberal or a semi-Pelagian. People rarely understand that it is much more robust than the majority of its supporters. Dr. Abasciano does well in making the case for this framework, answering a few of my criticisms and concerns affably and capably.
