Nijay Gupta has alerted me to the passing of Dr. Traina. He is probably best known for his book
Methodical Bible Study. Traina first published the book in 1952 and it is still being used in seminaries across America. I used it when I was in seminary and it is the basis for the Foundations of Bible Study class I teach here at Ashland. Here is Dr. Traina's
Obituary.
