Pastor Wells' Review of "The Escondido Theology"
Daniel Wells, a self-described "young pastor," has posted an interesting review of Frame's "The Escondido Theology." It is interesting, because I think both Frame's supporters and supporters of E2k will find things in it they won't like. So, perhaps this provides a good example of a "balanced" review of the book.

1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
Daniel Wells: "In the end, Frame rightly notes that ET theologians, like Horton, would be better off to provide examples and analysis of relevance/contextualization so that there would be less confusion as to where Horton and others stand on the issue (p. 296)."
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Frame and Wells on this. It's helpful for E2K advocates to discuss examples and realistic hypotheticals.
This is a very helpful review by Wells with good links to other sites, especially to Evans. Thank you for linking to it.
ReplyDeleteTFan,
ReplyDeleteWith regards to Godith's comment about Evans's article about confessional hermeneutics, do you think Escondido 2K is at odds with the WCF standards that's touted at Westminster Seminary California?
TU&D: Some E2k advocates are more out of line than others. I'll leave it at that for now. -TurretinFan
