Cliff R. Loriot is a life-long dispensationalist whose goals are to prove that the Scriptures must be interpreted according to the normal laws of language, and to root out the inconsistencies in dispensationalism. He holds a ThB in Pastoral Studies and was awarded the "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities & Colleges" two years in a row. After that, he earned an MDiv, and then a PhD in Biblical Studies with an Old Testament concentration. His love of poetry and the biblical languages, as well as the fact that the Old Testament is the key to understanding the New Testament, drove him to focus on the Hebrew Scriptures. He then completed the "Specialized Certificate in Copyediting" at the University of California, San Diego | Extension in order to help PhD candidates write their dissertations. Dr. Loriot is retired and living with his wife of 50 years in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. His greatest joy is helping disadvantaged fellow believers. His two best friends are an incarcerated man for whom Dr. Loriot serves as his Attorney-in-Fact, and a middle-aged man who struggles to understand this world as the result of being on the autism spectrum.
