Well, yes. It's a very reformed soteriology. It is based on legal contracts which parallel the Suzerainity treaties of the OT.
I like his framework and think it is very accurate. However, what he provides us with is merely the skeleton. The fair beauty of the body proper is this covenantal framework placed in the proper context -- marriage.
Scott Hahn came to Mechanicsburg for a presentation a couple of years ago. I asked him if he was familiar with Sutton's work. He kinda laughed and grinned from ear to ear.
"Yes," he replied, "Ray keeps sending converts to the Church. I personally know of 4 of his graduates who have converted in the last couple of years."
I agree. Sutton's framework helped me work through the Catholic paradigm and understand it. I have read the book about 3 times now...always go back for more. Last time I read it I was hi-liting it like crazy. Sutton makes some statements which, when I read them, make me wonder how it is that he himself isn't in the Church.
Well, maybe some day. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
