Just because I disagree with you as to emphasis does not give you the right to accuse me of being nitpicky. My reference to earlier texts is not inapplicable simply because I believe they were the foundational approaches that latter theologians like Hodge, Shedd, Strong, Berkhof et al adopted and built upon. It is the foundational approaches that give us insight that is lost on the so-called good and justifialbe 19th Century attempts. Remember my statement about the arrogance of every new generation? The second part of your response is simply a restatement of my post above. At least now you see it the way I do. If you want to adopt a superior tone toward me go ahead, after all you are the "head honcho".
