Puritan Board Doctor
He is in the Protestant Reformed Church and teaches at their seminary. I think he has some good observations but disagree his some of his Protestant Reformed views.
Michael Butterfield
Puritan Board Freshman
He is worth a read, but he certainly will have a different view of the "free offer of the Gospel" and I am thinking a view of "Common Grace". I would think he is more akin to Herman Hoeksema who is one of the stalwarts of the Protestant Reformed, which do not get that name by accident. They rejected the Christian Reformed View of Common Grace back in, I do not know, the 40's? His book Hyper-Calvinism and the Call of the Gospel: An Examination of the Well-Meant Gospel Offer is the one I know the most.
