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.
