Archive of Jason Dulle's articles

Jason Dulle graduated from Christian Life College (B.A.) and did his graduate studies at Western Seminary. He has been a Christian apologist for over 25 years. His writings have been the most influential in shaping my understanding of the nature of God. The articles below are links to his website. I have also archived many of his articles here just in case something happens to his website.

Archive of Joyce Pollard's articles

I have archived some of the writings of Joyce Pollard. Joyce was a Modalistic Monarchian who passed away a few years ago. Her website is still available, but I created this archive as a backup. I spoke to Joyce several years ago by email and can attest to her great desire to understand God and His Word. Many of her opinions are the result of her own personal study. As such, she has some unique ideas that differ from other Modalistic Monarchian believers. Her opinion is worth reading.

Archive of Steven Richie's articles

I have archived some of the writings of Steven Ritchie from the Wayback Machine. He was a Oneness Pentecostal apologist who passed away a few years ago. I found his writings helpful, but his website was suddenly taken down in early 2023. I am not a Pentecostalist, and I disagree with his teaching on baptismal regeneration (i.e., salvation through water baptism), but he has contributed much to defending Oneness, and I think his writings should be available to people studying this topic.
