Dr. Michael Haykin was recently interviewed by Daryl Dash on his blog. Daryl asked Dr. Haykin some great questions. Dr. Haykin's responses reveal his understanding that wisdom can be gained through a study of church history. Dash's questions to Dr. Haykin are listed below.

  • Sadly, most evangelicals don't seem to have a good grasp of church history. Why do you think this is so?
  • What are some of the results of this lack of knowledge in the church
  • What can pastors do to promote an awareness of church history?
  • Is there a particular era of church history that especially needs to be rediscovered in today's church?
  • I've really appreciated your books. Are you working on one right now?
