About Us

From 1985 to 1991 Historicism offered 98 papers and six supplements. For the first six years it placed special emphasis on Dan 11. In 1991 it carried a number of papers on the book of Hebrews. And of course, wherever one discusses Daniel, Revelation must be discussed in parallel with it.

Ninety-three of the ninety-eight papers, and five of the supplements, that appeared in Historicism were written by Frank Hardy, so in this case "us" is me, if that makes good English. By occupation I am a computer programmer for the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (1996 to present). In this capacity I write databases.

In terms of academic background, I have a B.A. (Union College, 1969) in theology, with minors in Greek, music, and history; a Ph.D. in linguistics (University of New Mexico, 1979) with research on the grammatical category of aspect in Navajo;<1> and an M.A. in Old Testament (Andrews University, 1983) with research on Dan 11.<2>
