Cox and Knox

A letter written to the Bible League Quarterly concerning Richard Cox and John Knox.

     Sir: Writers of biography have always to guard themselves against presenting their subject so that he stands in exaggerated contrast to his fellow-beings. Knox, of course, is of great interest to students of the Reformation but in presenting him, John Brentnall has painted some of those around him in too sombre colours. For …

The Old Paths versus New Divinity

… the dramatist of fiction joins hands with Murray the maker of religious fiction. Happily the Bible League Quarterly confessed to a strong love for the works and teaching of Huntington and published my defence of Huntington. 2

     Iain Murray sent me a gall-filled essay from Fuller’s pen entitled Portrait of an Antinomian 3  as ‘proof’ of Huntington’s errors. It was now obvious to me that Huntington was out of fashion at the Banner of Truth and Fullerism now …

The Atonement

… Word for the Right Doctrine

     When William Tindale began work on his translation of the Bible around 1525, he found the English language at times most inappropriate for the task. There was very little of what might be called the language of Zion in English as the current Bible was in the Latin words of the Vulgate, of which many monks and priests were as ignorant as the common people. As it was deemed an evil thing by the Roman Catholic hierarchy for the common people to have the …

Queen’s Abdication

… Anglicans in anti-Scriptural liberalism, sacramentalism and Pelagianism. Recent studies (Baptist Quarterly 8/2000), show how historically, traditionally and doctrinally, the Baptist Movement is a sacramental system and therefore Liberal and Pelagian. Most Baptists view their major rite as being a declaration of what the sinner performs rather than what God does. General Baptists abound in Arminianism; Reformed, Strict, Grace and Particular Baptists are riddled with Baxterism, Amyraldianism …

The Donatists and Their Relation to Church and State

… less dependent on Scripture, we tend to look for historical roots for our support. So many once Bible-believing churches who scorned tradition are now looking to the past to prove their validity as churches via historical succession and inherited authority. This is not only true of Rome but of an increasing number of former nonconformist denominations. My recent reading has shown Christians looking back to the Albigensians, to the Waldensians, to the Lollards, to the Celtic Christians, to …

Men Not Gods

… and Henderson’s Radicalism and that scandalously intolerant, anti-Christian Solemn League and Covenant with its Trent-long anathema-list of punishments for non-acceptance. Mercifully, the Assembly’s seditious Counter-Reformation bubble burst but Cromwell’s equally evil purge of Presbyterianism began. Though Cromwell diplomatically rejected the crown, he was given full royal powers by the ravaged Rump Parliament which fostered his megalomania and imagined eschatological …

The Devil and Arthur Miller

… further examples of  such “spiritual propaganda” in the Gospels, and states that the whole Bible uses this ‘technique’. Miller implies that the use of this ‘technique’ was purely of human origin. He realises that the authors of the Scriptures claimed to have divine authority but argues that this was all part of their ‘technique of deceit’. Although Miller uses the word ‘deceit’, he objects to being thought negatively deceitful and argues that “Technique is like …

John Gill and the Charge of Hyper-Calvinism

… that doth good and sinneth not.”  In conjunction with this second point Gill admits that the Bible also says that “whosoever is born of God, doth not commit sin, because he is born of God,” Gill explains this apparent contradiction by outlining the Biblical teaching of the two Adams, the New Adam, who does not commit sin, indwelling the old creature in Adam who cannot but commit sin. This doctrine of the two Adams is at the heart of Pauline teaching and very much Gill’s but it is …
