More good news

This is wonderful in so many ways. And it is providentially a great follow-up to the interaction between Dr. Chapell and Rev. Lusk.

I’m slightly disappointed this was made a matter of dispute (as evidenced by the reply box missing from the printer version I linked). Dr. Kelly was permitted to simply publish an essay at the pcanews site fully loaded with questions to cleanse the PCA of the position which Dr. Kidd espouses. When criticism roled in, Dr. Duncan made it clear that it was presumptuous to differ with so great a scholar as Dr. Kelly. Now every reader is invited to critique Dr. Kidd by the reply box at the bottom of the article.

Well, perhaps all such articles will have such reply boxes. Perhaps the powers that be have now decided to be consistently more even-handed. I hope so.

POSTSCRIPT (4:04 PM):

I should add that it is no secret I have been disappointed with some reactions to the “New Perspective” by some professors at some Reformed seminaries. However, by no means have I been disappointed in all of them. This downloadable essay by Professor Doug Green (Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia) is quite good. Also, this symposium is really helpful for getting dialog off the ground.
