"Of the Holy Spirit...He is like a shaft of light that falls on the beloved
face, so that as in a photograph, you do not think about the light, nor the
origin of the light, but you think about the face that it reveals."

Biography of Dr. Ernest L. Martin
A.S.K.'s Founder, Dr. Ernest L. Martin
(died January 2002), was born in Meeker, Oklahoma on April 20, 1932.
He attended grade and high school in Exeter,
California and graduated from the College of the Sequoias in Visalia, California
(specializing in Meteorology). He was a member of
United States Air Force from 1950 to 54, and was sent by the Air Force
to the University of New Mexico for advanced Meteorological training.
He forecasted the weather in Greenland for a year,
another year at Research and Development in High Altitude studies
at Lowry AFB, Denver, Colorado. He changed careers in 1955 from
science to social science (Theology and History).
He attended Ambassador College
(now University and accredited) for B.A. (1958), M.A. in Theology
(1962), and Ph.D. in Education (1966).
He was Secretary of the Board at Ambassador
campus in England from 1960 to 72 and
Senior Professor of History and Theology and
Elementary Meteorology. He was
Dean of Faculty at Ambassador campus in England from 1966 to 72.
He secured the alliance of Ambassador with
Hebrew University in the largest archaeological excavation
in Israel near the Western (Wailing) Wall from 1969 through 1973.
He supervised 450 college students for those five years at the
archaeological site in Jerusalem for the summer months and
Time magazine featured his program for providing academic
credits for archaeological work during that period.
Dr. Martin became Chairman of the Department of
Theology at Ambassador in Pasadena, California in 1973.
He left Ambassador in 1974 (and gave up his tenured
professorship) and started FBR (the Foundation for
Biblical Research) in Pasadena. He was Chairman of the
Board of FBR from 1974 to 85. He left FBR to found the Associates
for Scriptural Knowledge (A.S.K.) in 1985 and was Chairman of the
Board. He was a Member of the Society of Biblical Literature and the
Planetarium Society, and was listed in the (1997,'98,'99) editions of
Who's Who in America, also Who's Who in Religion,
Who's Who in Education, and Who's Who in Biblical Studies and Archaeology.
Author of five editions of The Tithing Dilemma (over
100,000 copies sold) (1974 to 1995); two editions of The Birth of Christ Recalculated (1978, 1980); two editions of Restoring the Original Bible (1984, 1996); two editions of Secrets of Golgotha (1987, 1996); 101 Bible Secrets (1991); The People that History Forgot (1994); The New Third Temple (out of print, 1994); The Biblical Manual (out of print, 1995); The Star that Astonished the World (1996); two editions of The Temples that Jerusalem Forgot (1999, 2000); and two editions of The Essentials of New Testament Doctrine (1999, 2001).
He authored over 200 special theological and historical studies in printed form,
and over 400 cassette taped lectures on similar subjects, and appeared
numerous times on Television and Radio programs in which he was
interviewed. He was married to Ramona Jean Martin and had two daughters
Kathryn and Phyllis and one son Samuel, and several grandchildren.
His primary profession was that of advanced studies as a
Research Theologian and Historian with a deep interest in the
relationship between the subjects of Science and Biblical matters.
He was an ordained Christian minister in the A.S.K. ekklesia
(translated as "church" in the King James Version). Dr. Martin
was first ordained in London, England in January 2, 1959 by the
Worldwide Church of God; then FBR in
January 1974; and finally ASK in January 1985.
His ecclesiastical persuasion was non-denominational in beliefs.
His main interest was to restore biblical truth to this
End-Time generation (before the Second Advent of Christ) and to make
all people to have the opportunity of knowing the truth of the
Gospel of Christ Jesus, no matter who they are whatever their
status of race, sex, social or political beliefs, and of whatever
religious persuasion they have.
Since the Holy Scriptures dogmatically teach the
Universal Reconciliation of all humans throughout
all periods of human history, he was an ardent advocate
of this Scriptural truth. He hoped that all people on earth
can experience their freedoms that they all have in
Christ. All his writings attest to this fundamental truth
that motivated his academic and religious endeavors and activities.
