Thank you for this summary and review — and the various items you have attached. It is most useful. As a friend of Iain’s (and an avid reader of his fine books) I think you are accurate and fair here. Men in ministry ought to read this book and accept its conclusions.

Good question, Rod. What I intended to communicate with my concluding sentence is that I agree with Murray’s overall thesis, and the bit you quoted is one way of summarizing his thesis.

You conclude that “I think that Murray’s argument is convincing.” Do your refer to your statement (early in the review) that “their strategy failed to fulfill what it promised but instead compromised the gospel itself”? Or to a fuller thesis of some sort? (I’ve not read the book, so can’t determine that.)

Thanks for the lengthy bibliog. of reviews–a lot of work and much appreciated.
