F. Calvin Parker attended his first Vacation Bible School when he was four years old, and he consumed more scripture than Kool-Aid or cookies.
There was much to thrill a young mind. He heard the amazing stories of Noah in the zoo-like ark and Daniel in the lions’ den, along with proverbs and psalms that nourished his soul his entire life.
He remained a devoted student of scripture, listening to the radio sermons of Charles E. Fuller and reading John R. Rice. While in the Army, he joined Calvary Baptist Church in New York, which was led by preacher William Ward Ayer, a fundamentalist stalwart.
Parker and his wife Harriett went to Japan in 1951 as Southern Baptist missionaries. Reading the Bible in Japanese, which differs sharply from English, allowed him to rediscover its teachings and led to a personal transformation. The scriptures began to excite and challenge him as never before.
Join Parker as he breaks free from oppressive teachings and shares what he’s learned over eighty years of studying the Bible in The Good Book Is Better Than It Used to Be.
