In 1994 he had suffered a massive stroke and was ill for some time after that. In early 1997, he had expressed his change to Full Preterism on a semi-public list forum (I was the co-moderator of that Christian forum where he was a member at that time). <br><br>Many of us on that forum were shocked to read of his change of views, but were also well aware of his recent illness too, and so were personally sympathetic to him (but not to his new views). Not too long after that (a matter of weeks) he had died.<br><br>But Chilton's change of eschatology is no more relevant to this discussion, than some presbyterians and Anglicans who have coverted to Romanism (e.g. Scott Hahn, Gerry Matatics, Thomas Howard, et al).<br><br>Doe J.I. Packer's [u]support and defense of the 1994 ECT Document[/u] (and later Ecumenical Documents) have any negative bearing on his earlier Calvinistic writings, such as his famous Introductory Essay to John Owen's classic book on the Death of Christ, or his Historical Introduction to Luther's Bondage of the Will, or his several books and essays on Puritanism and Calvinism? I trow not. <br><br>Colin <br><br>
