Cascione’s Magnus Opus
Christian News, March 12, 2012, Vol. 50, No. 11
In Search of the Biblical order-Patterns in the Text Affirming Divine Authorship from Revelation to Genesis by Pastor Jack Cascione is now on the press. It is his magnus opus, involving more than 25 years of study accumulating evidence. The computer which scholars did not have in the past has been a tremendous help to him. This issue (p. 16) of Christian News includes a pamphlet now being widely mailed from Redeemer Press, Box 99, Saint Clair Shores, Michigan 48080 announcing a pre-publication price of $14.95 for the book which lists for $19.95. The pre-publication offer expires March 30, 2012. The case price is $220 plus shipping and handling.
ABOUT THE COVER
Through a Dark Colored Glass—an original serigraph by the author—invites the viewer to peer through a dark, transparent geometric object symbolizing the dark-colored glass in 1Cor. 13:12. The Greek text may also translate to mean a dark riddle or enigmatic reflection, evoking a veiled vision of the future. The rising cubic form is backlit from the glow of divine negative space. Light emanates from behind and above, and illuminates a cross on top of a cord stained red with the blood of Christ, symbolizing release from the bondage of sin. The object, released from the cord, rises and is spreading apart, soon to reveal a clear view of the beatific vision that lies behind it and ahead of the viewer.
David P. Kuske, professor emeritus of New Testament Theology at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary Mequon, Wisconsin is the editor. The pamphlet announcing Pastor Cascione’s magnus opus includes favorable comments of the first edition of In Search of the Biblical Order made by Professor David Kuske, Dr. Waldemar Degner, Dr. Robert Preus, Dr. James Voelz, Pastor Paul Burgdorf, Dr. Phillip Giessler, Dr. Arthur Sekki, Dr. John Drickamer and Dr. Otto Stahlke. Excerpts of reviews from the New Second Edition are from Pastor Brock Abbott, Pastor Steven Flo, Pastor Herman Otten, Professor Anna Betz, Profesor Robert A. Dargatz, Pastor Rolf Preus and Martin Steffke, student.
Pastor Cascione has long championed the doctrine of the inerrancy of the Bible and justification by faith alone.
The author delves into the mysteries of divine revelation, the shape of divine communication, the Biblical text as an art form, and his lifelong pursuit of the divine style. Based on the astonishing accuracy of Codex Leningradensis, he presents the most important internal evidence confirming the authenticity of Daniel, Genesis, and other books of the Old Testament since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The author defends long-ignored textual evidence that Revelation teaches the same forensic Doctrine of Justification found in Romans, 2 Corinthians, and Galatians.
This new edition contains 320 pages in an 8 ½ x 11-inch format. It includes a new translation of the Book of Revelation, typeset in aesthetic pattern format, a list of works cited, 620 footnotes, a full index, 161 tables of examples, and quotes or references the Bible more than 4,000 times.

GJ - Unfortunately, Herman Otten has always listened to Jack Cascione, dubbed "Mad Jack" and "Greasy Jack" at Concordia Seminary, Ft. Wayne.
Cascione teaches against Luther's Biblical doctrine, in the name of the Great Kidnapper Walther. Cascione and Paul McCain are both examples of following the Walther model and repudiating Luther.
Those pastors seduced by UOJ are easily drawn into many other aspects of false doctrine. Cascione does NOT teach justification by faith alone.
Here is another imposter recently published by Otten on his blog. Gary Ray Branscomb's post seems to teach justification by faith--at first glance--but is ambiguous, as many of them are. Gary repeats many typical Waltherian talking points but denies infant baptism and infant faith in his other Internet writings, which are also verbose and mediocre.
UOJ advocates use a lot of Biblical words while avoiding Biblical concepts. They cannot discuss the efficacy of the Word and the Means of Grace because they reject both.
