Dr. Carrick was a prof. of mine. A very good man in and out of the pulpit. I think the classes he taught must have had an "English" flavor to them, at least insofar as they had a different "feel" to them from other classes taught by typical American teachers. (I will always think of them that way, unless I visit Oxford myself someday and find it different). His Bachelors and Masters degrees are from Oxford. I don't know if he was degreed in theology anywhere before his Westminster (California) D.Min., though he was associated with Lloyd-Jones and his work in England when he was younger.

Dr. Carrick teaches homiletics at GPTS, among other things. His book on preaching is a good buy (from Banner of Truth, [i:ef4c5d9fa3]The Imperative of Preaching).[/i:ef4c5d9fa3] At one point in the book he takes on radical (anti-application) redemptive-historical preaching. He has filled the pulpit many times in the local OPC church, especially when we were without a pastor. He often preaches in PCA and OPC pulpits.

If you were really fed spiritually, Jonathan, then I doubt not that others were also ministered to by the same Spirit, on every level of theological maturity. Such is the Spirit-led ministry.
