I've been in Reformed circles since 1978 and I never had anyone mentioned Wilson's name. Period.

Only through the internet have I become familiar with the name. Besides the internet, he wrote articles for Ligonier's Tabletalk but I would not have even remember him through those if it weren't for the internet.

I've listened to an interview with Wilson some time ago and if I recall correctly he wasn't raised in a Reformed church but later converted. In this interview he mentioned that he embraces most Reformed creeds and confessions but still is forming his own view on some of these. It's seems clear that he is coming to some troubling conclusions.

Wilson's views on covenant theology as espoused in "Reformed" Is Not Enough and in his contribution to The Federal Vision have caused some controversy as part of the Federal Vision theology, partly because of its similarity to the New Perspective on Paul, which Wilson does not fully endorse, though he has praised some tenets that are in line with his theology. One of the most contentious points is that Wilson believes that all who hold to the ancient creeds of Christendom are considered orthodox enough to be considered in covenant with God. The RPCUS denomination declared his views on the subject to be heretical, and although "Reformed" Is Not Enough was already in process when the RPCUS's resolution was published, Wilson sought to address some of their charges in that book.
