I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family of Dr. William J. Larkin, a former seminary professor of mine. I have recently completed a series of posts addressing the IVP New Testament Commentary on Acts by Dr. Larkin.
This morning I went to the dentist, and while seated in the waiting room I fished Saturday’s newspaper out of the waste basket. As I thumbed through, Dr. Larkin’s picture surprised me. Then I realized it was his obituary, having recently died as a result of pancreatic cancer.
My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and the CIU family in this time of loss. I stand by the critiques I have written, but also recognize the tenderness of the hour. My apologies with the imperfect timing.

Truth has to be told. How old was the man when he died?

Some respect is in order.
He was 69ish? The obit only gave his birth year as 1945.

Wow. God promises us three score and ten and more if we are strong.

My grandpa was a Freemason and everything he built in his life after he died dissolved. The fraternity that he built on the IU campus was thrown off IU Campus. The monument of him on the court house lawn was destroyed. His own son burned through his inheritance. Even the hospital he helped found is no longer in existence. All in a few years after his death. The Scriputure says, The expectation of the wicked shall perish.
