In another thread, it was recently stated that:
[quote:a010215776="openairboy"]In the long run, I believe, that Frame will be considered one of the greatest minds of our generation and his works, assuming he continues to build on his foundation, will be standard reading for a long time. The more time I spend with the man (his writings) I find him to be an absolute genius, gracious, charitable, and thoroughly reformed. He is truly example to everyone on how to do theology.[/quote:a010215776]
Out of true concern, I must respond by saying that John Frame is one of the most dangerous men in modern Reformed Christendom. He seeks to further the tolerant, anti-confessional spirit that is taking over the PCA (and even the OPC) more and more today. Keith, if you think he is "thoroughly Reformed" and a true "example to everyone on how to do theology," please read his article, "Machen's Warrior Children," which can be found at http://www.christiancounterculture.com/40615/machen.html.
While narrowly dividing and acting uncharitably over details that truly are minor in nature (e.g. John Robbins) is couter-productive to the Christian spirit and aim, theological relativism and tolerance is the equal danger on the opposite end of the spectrum, which is just what Frame continually pushes. If you think this characterization is too extreme, after reading the above article, explain how such doctrines as the covenant, justification, law and gospel, worship, preaching and election can rightly be called "relatively minor differences" in comparison to external unity.
