Christian Bennett’s Review

… DL3. OPH

Dear Brethren,
Would you kindly publish this letter which is a response to Christopher Bennett’s supposed review of my book. It must have been a very rushed affair as the reviewer obviously had not time to read the book. This seems typical of today’s would-be writers. I recently tracked down the Christian author of one review of my book on Fuller who also gave a lecture on the book in which he admitted, amidst jokes at my expense, that he had never …
Like John Harding in his candid review of Iain Murray’s new book on Wesley, I was alarmed at the author’s exodus from Reformed doctrines. Could he not praise Wesley objectively for the good he did without having to side with him in his errors? Murray has lost his balance. Formerly he was pro Whitefield and contra Wesley, now he is pro Wesley and Whitefield is forgotten. Forgotten, too, are the adverse teachings of Wesley on …
Great changes are occurring in the contemporary theological scene and there seems to be a mass exodus from the old paths of our fathers in the faith to the new-fangled paths of what is now known as ‘Evangelical Calvinism’. The inspired teachings of the New Testament, the Reformation and the preaching of such 18th century stalwarts as John Gill, James Hervey and Augustus Toplady are being given up for the teachings of a comparatively nobody who is being re-created as a star, …

Mountain Movers’ Review
Aug 21
Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir,
It was encouraging to read the positive reviews of my book The Mountain Movers in the English Churchman. Mr. Wilson’s kind remarks were particularly impressive, though he disagrees with some of my conclusions. Nevertheless, I was surprised to find myself censured, in a magazine with Evangelical Anglican traditions on the subject of Evangelical Anglicans, for believing that certain Presbyterian views of church order are not above criticism. …

Reply to a Woman-Hater
Nov 15
Letter to New Focus in reply to a Woman-Hater
Dear Sir,
The Jewish macho thanks God every day because he is not a woman. His Mohammedan counterpart believes a woman has no soul. Misogynists in Christian churches, not content with being the head over their wives, would place them under their feet and outlaw all Christian women from gospel witness. They believe that Deborah had no right to judge Israel; …
What is a Baptist?
Aug 21
Dear Brethren,
Before I had the privilege of joining this symposium, I felt that I knew quite well what a Baptist church was. My simple definition was that a Baptist church consisted of a body of believers who had joined together in fellowship, chosen a pastor and deacons, preferably out of their own midst, and decided, on what they held to be Biblical grounds, to require water baptism as an expression of their belief in saving faith and …
