Welcome to From Daniel’s Desk!
My name is Daniel Pentimone. I’m an ER nurse, seminary grad, and avid learner. You’ve just arrived at the home base for my thoughts, writings, and notes. My interests are diverse, so I write on many subjects. But mostly, those subjects lie at the intersection of theology, history, worldview, and missions. Hence the tagline, Ancient Truth for Modern Time.
Since I’ve been writing for a few years, I created this page to give you a sampling of some of the material that you’ll find here. In addition to these articles, you can also browse my favorite books and some of my more academic papers. If you want to receive my once-a-week posts in your inbox, take a moment to subscribe.
