Häufig gestellte Fragen
Finis Jennings Dake was a prominent figure in Pentecostal study who gained national attention in 1920 following a supernatural experience in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He earned the nickname 'the Walking Bible' because he possessed a unique ability to quote hundreds of scripture verses fluently, including their exact chapter and verse locations, without conscious memorization. This ability launched a ministry defined by over 100,000 hours of intensive scriptural research, eventually leading to the creation of his famous annotated reference work.
The Dake Annotated Reference Bible is a work of staggering scale, widely recognized in classic Pentecostal and Charismatic circles. It contains over 35,000 commentary notes and a world-record 500,000 cross-references, all meticulously compiled by Dake to demonstrate that the Bible is a perfectly harmonized document. This level of granular detail makes it one of the most comprehensive toolsets ever assembled by a single individual for deep theological study and scriptural cross-referencing.
Dake’s Annotated Bible is available as a resource for e-Sword, bringing his extensive scriptural research into the world of digital Bible study. This integration allows pastors and students of theology to navigate Dake's complex notes on dispensationalism and his vast library of cross-references within a modern software environment. By using these tools in e-Sword, researchers can more easily access the detailed commentary that has influenced Pentecostal study for over a century.
Dispensationalism is a key framework within the Dake Annotated Reference Bible, providing a structured way for students to navigate complex theological waters. Dake used his research to provide a level of granular detail that helps users understand the Bible as a harmonized document through this specific lens. His notes offer a comprehensive guide for those preparing sermons or engaging in deep study, though his work remains one of the most detailed and discussed toolsets in the field.
