Harmon on Fuller

     I have forgotten for which publication I wrote this letter.

     Sir: Prof. Harmon’s recent critique of  my Law and Gospel in the Theology of Andrew Fuller (Fall, 2001.) is inaccurate, lacking the objectivity of a scholar.

      I do not argue that Fuller sought to modify extreme Calvinism but point out that Fuller was often more High Calvinist than a number of his friends and foes, including Gill and Huntington. Prof. Harmon ranks the latter two with High …

Baptism in the Early Church

Prof. Hendrick F. Stander

Prof. Johannes P. Louw

Carey Publications

Duty Faith and the Protestant Reformed Churches

Dear Brother J., 

     Thank you so much for your detailed analysis of my attempt to illustrate saving faith as opposed to duty-faith. You brought many coals to Newcastle for me and your Athens-bound ships were full of wise old owls, all of which were welcome. It is good to find that though you may disagrees with me on terms, we have so very much agreement on contents, though we are only …

Hyper-Calvinism and the Call of the Gospel

David Engelsma, Reformed Free Publishing Association

     Prof. Engelsma’s book which reveals the follies of what he terms preaching the ‘well-meant offer’ has been around for a number of years, providing much food for thought.

Kiffin, Knollys and Keach: Rediscovering our English Baptist Heritage

Michael Haykin’s book thus comes at a most …
