New Bible-research association clarifies goals,
purposes, targeted audience and name change
Name change
The last time this newspaper reported on the organization, its name was the Associates for Restored Truth. (See "Symposium Presents Mix of Views About Law, Grace," The Journal, Feb. 29, 2008.)
But Mr. Mokarow later asked his friend Al Carrozzo to change the name because the association's initials, ART, could be confused with Mokarow's first name. So the name became Associates for Biblical Research.
However, when the ABR discovered that there is already an Associates for Biblical Research residing in Pennsylvania that has been around since 1969, another minor course correction was in order.
So now the ABR is the Association for Biblical Research.
Reason for ABR
"We're just a bunch of guys who associate together," Mr. Mokarow explained. "We come from different denominations and different strengths, with different biblical strengths. We believe that, rather than concentrate on our differences, we should concentrate on what we agree on."
The ABR's purpose is to provide "biblical research" to Christian scholars and leaders of churches and other ministries to help them in their own research, writing and speaking.
