The Truth About The Christ (continued from www.truthaboutthechrist.com/thetruthaboutthechrist/conclusion.html)
About
the Author
Pastor Ed Rice is a retired USAF
Systems Engineer
surrendered to be a Baptist Preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Saved in 1960 at the age of eight he grew up tutored in the
Scriptures through Tuscorora Baptist Church in Addison NY, where he
married his high-school sweetheart Beverly Cook Rice. Drafted into
the military off of the dairy farm in 1972, Ed and Bev Rice raised 3
boys while serving as a Missile Technician in the USAF. After
completing a USAF AECP bootstrap program he graduated from Ohio State
University with a degree in electrical engineering and was
commissioned in the USAF where he served until 1995 as a systems
engineer and weapons integration specialist at Wright Patterson Air
Force Base, Ohio, and Rome Laboratories, Rome NY. He finished his
Masters degree in Electrical Engineering through The Air Force
Institute of Technology in 1990.
After being commissioned as a
USAF officer in 1982 he
pursued his systems engineering work in several classified research
and development programs. While moving around the USA in his twenty
three year military career he was a youth pastor and associate pastor
in Independent Baptist Churches near his station. In 1995 he became
Captain Rice, USAF retired, and surrendered to be a Baptist Pastor.
In 1998 he took the senior
pastorate at Good Samaritan
Baptist Church, in Dresden, New York where he pursued his theological
studies at Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary. At LBU Pastor Rice
received his second masters degree in 2013, and his PhD in 2017. His
son Michael is US Army retired living near Fort Hood Texas, Shane is
an Independent Baptist Missionary pastoring Chiesa Biblica Battista,
Mazara Del Vallo, Italy, and Matthew is serving our Lord Jesus Christ
near Hamilton NY. Capt Rice has spent seven years teaching math and
science with the ABeka Christian High School Curriculum, and seven
years teaching college mathematics, a love of his life, at both
Corning Community College, and Elmira College.
Dr. Rice's staunch belief in the
preserved accuracy of
the inspired Scriptures and his extensive background in systems
engineering make him uniquely qualified to assemble “A
Systematic
Theology for the 21st Century.”

Bethany House, 2002, 3, 4, 5, 11 [Geisler, also a neoevangelical,
sharply contrasts with Lewis Sperry Chafer in that Geisler 1) admits
what he is, neoevangelical, 2) admits what he is attempting, a
compilation of evangelical theologies, 3) shows superb organization
and structure of thought, 4) contains depth, and 5) is a masterful
communicator. This author cannot endorse all that Geisler believes to
be true, but can endorse that he seems to capture all that has been
believed by conservative evangelicals.]
