The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum A critique of Dave Hunt

FYI,<br>For those of you who are constantly having to answer people who raise Dave Hunt's book as the death knell to Calvinism, you may be pleased to know that Phil Johnson's critique given at the Grace Church Shepherd's Conference is available on line at: http://www.swordandtrowel.com/sermons.htm<br><br>You have to have real audio capabilities. <br><br>Fred

Dave Hunt is an enemy of The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ.

howard,<br><br>Have read this critique of one of Dave Hunt's books, What Love is This? here: What Theology is This?<br><br>

Hi Pilgrim.<br><br>No I havent read that critique but I have others and as far as I am concerned Dave Hunt is an arminian and not worth bothering about. All one can do is write to him in a simple sentance telling him of the gospel news which he clearly knows nothing about. I will have a look at your critique later though.<br><br>Regards howard

Howard,

You might be interested to know that Dave Hunt's very first book was entitled, Confessions of a Heretic, first published in 1970. It was about his excommunication from the Plymouth Brethren after he "confessed" to speaking in Tongues.

And Dave Hunt wrote against Calvinism as far back as 1989 in his anti-Reconstructionist book, Whatever Happened to Heaven?. In it, Hunt attacked John Calvin and Calvinism in his criticisms against Christian Reconstructionism.

Colin:<br><br>Is Hunt's book you mentioned, "Confessions of an Heretic" , still available/in print?<br><br>I was not surprised to hear you report that Hunt's distaste for the doctrines of grace is long standing, but it is interesting to get the details. I know of a number of people who are deceived by his professed "Berean" stance, and it is sad, but unless the God of all grace shines the light of understanding into the heart, the natural position is the Armenian one, as it exhaults the creature rather than the Creator.<br><br>Thanks for the information.

I was temporarily able to look at a copy ten years ago by obtaining one through Inter-Library Loan. You would be amazed at the number of available Out of print and rare books you can look at through this service at your local library even though you can't keep any of them. (But of course, very rare books from the 17th and 18th century are not obtainable this way).<br><br>For example, I obtained a very rare booklet through Inter-library loan entitled, The Resurgence of Arminianism written in the 1950's by Scottish presbyterian, Kenneth Macrae. (He is known for The Banner of Truth publication, The Diary of Kenneth Macrae. The booklet I obtained was about the then rise of Arminianism in the Free Church of Scotland in the early 20th century. This sad situation has since reversed itself over the past 40 years, no doubt partly due to Banner of Truth reprints and so forth.<br><br>Colin
