Socininian Traits in Fuller’s System
Fuller has a great deal to say about Socinianism with which he often disagrees. Yet his controversy with the Socinians is fought out on a philosophical-ethical basis where both he and the Socinians are far from the Biblical teaching on holiness and sanctification. Thus Fuller seems to be more prepared to argue morally on such topics as ‘the nature and fitness of things’, ‘virtue’, ‘the loveliness of vindictive justice’ …

… Spurgeon v. Hyper-Calvinism, ET, August, 1996, p. 19. These articles laid bare the tendency to Socinianism in the British evangelical establishment and pioneered the negative re-evaluation of Spurgeon spreading through the churches which is doing nobody any good. ↩
… fickle coquetry with nature-based religion, New Divinity, Baxterianism, Arminianism, Sandemanism, Socinianism and Scepticism did he carry elements of Hyper-Calvinism through with him to the grave?

… Defensio Fidei Catholicae de Satisfactione Christi in which he strives to distance himself from Socinianism. His view of Christ’s substitutionary, propitiating death is however, far nearer the Socinian view than the Biblical doctrine of redemption in Christ. He rejects, as the Socinians, any idea that Christ could take over the debts of another and provide payment for them in suffering as a ransom to settle the debtor’s account regarding the broken law. God, he argues, is not to be …
