… including witness, and the faith once delivered to the saints.
After lunch, M.J. Kater followed with a historical review of the earlier scholarship and piety of Princeton Seminary, an institution founded to inform the mind and move the heart and combat dead orthodoxy and frosty rationalism,. Kater suggested that a Christian education fails when studies do not encourage Christian worship, fellowship and instruction in witness and catechising.
Next on the agenda was …

Sir:
Iain Murray’s excellent, necessarily selective, overview of evangelicalism’s ups and downs (Issues 455-6) reveals the need of more pan-European study of the growth of Liberalism. Schleiermacher, of Moravian background and heart, was very much influenced by British Latidudinarians from whom he gained his love of Natural Law as opposed to revealed law. British Methodism helped …
Sir,
J.R. Brogan writes (Aug, 10/17), “There may be other readers who, like Dr. Ella, cannot see why ‘Rev. 18:1-4 cannot be lightly dismissed as irrelevant today’”. Those new to the debate will thus be led to believe that I lightly dismiss this Scriptural exhortation and find it irrelevant to the European problem. Mr. Brogan’s reference was to words that I wrote and meant …

New Cowper Book
Aug 21
Sir,
It was good to read of Countryman’s appreciation of William Cowper who has also not been forgotten by others in this bicentenary year. After publishing, several essays and two rather lengthy works on Cowper in recent years, I forwarded a bicentenary appreciation this January to a Canadian publisher. It is entitled William Cowper: The Man With God’s Deep Stamp Upon Him and …
E. T. Clifford on Doddridge
Aug 22
Sir:
In his recent ET article defending saintly Doddridge against adverse criticism, Dr. Clifford ended by stating,
“Even more at odds with the facts, Dr George Ella asserts that Doddridge’s Calvinism was ‘higher’ than Dr John Gill’s!”
This is incorrect. My original ET article (Feb. 1995), including Doddridge’s balanced analysis of Calvinism, which I share, was …
Reply to Tony Bickley
Dec 31
Sir:
Tony Bickley accuses me of being controversial over a point entirely foreign to me, leaving me puzzled at his logic and reasoning. He concludes from my repeated claim that Christ in His human nature was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin, that I teach that the Sinless One was a sinner. Furthermore, he concludes from my belief that Christ became sin on our behalf …
Christ’s Sinless Nature
Oct 5
Posted by George Ella in Letters | No Comments
Sir:
Notes & Comments in the Sept.-Oct. issue contained a serious error inconsistent with orthodox teaching on the Incarnation and the human descent of Christ. Christ the man did not withstand sin as God but because He became a man among men and suffered under the law as a man but yet without sin. Christ redeemed us as man, dying vicariously for men. The idea that Christ did not …
