One thing that is for sure about McGrath is that he believed (and may still unless Muller changed his mind) that the later reformers left Calvin behind, ie; Calvin vs the Calvinists. This come out in his book on the life of Calvin. This may be why some think he is NPP or has those leanings but I don't see it. |
Agreed. He quote and interacts with Barth, but that doesn't make him Barthian. He has written some things that fed the NPP debate, but I don't think he is New Perspective.
