Any one that's been in reformed circles long enough has heard of Doug Wilson. What are your thoughts? Good for the Body, or not so good. Why? I personally think he's a fabulous writer, which is why I also think he can be very dangerous.

I think he is a great writer. I enjoy Credenda/Agenda now and then (on line). Doug Wilson is also, as I am sure you know, a bit controversial in some areas. I personally think it is a much ado about (mostly) nothing.
I think Wilson, like many other Reformed writers, is good on some issues and not so good on others.
In Christ,

Is not Doug Wilson the "father" of the auburn Ave. mess? I heard him on a show with J. Lig. Duncan a while back.
Peace to u,

Nse007 said:I think Cajun maybe a sympathizer ;c) Doug Wilson is a prolific author coming out of Moscow, ID. This Auburn Heresy is more than some would let on. It has to do with Justification and what is called Covenantal Redemption. If you do a google search for Auburn Heresy, it will come up.
His books on courtship, family life, and christian life however are, I think, spot on (minus the hyper covenantal stuff)

We are all individually responsible for everything we take in and accept.
JUST BECAUSE so and so said it is NOT acceptable.
JUST BECAUSE it was said by a Calvinist is NOT acceptable.
Hey Kenith,Cajun Huguenot said:Jon,
I agree with most of what you write, but on this one I am going to have to ask for some proof. I have only read a small portion of what Doug Wilson has written, but I have never read anything that I can recall of that smacked of a "Romish" view of Justification.
It may be in the AU controversy stuff that I've yet to read. I do agree with edb19. I found much of his Credenda stuff to be a hoot.
In Christ,
