I am glad to hear that about Gaffin and I am also somewhat sympathetic.

A year or so ago, I happened to be present at a meeting where someone read aloud from a document that Shepherd had written and I was somewhat surprised: it sounded orthodox. However, upon asking the person for the title of the work I discovered that it had been written in 1980 (or '81).

Personally I think Shepherd has become muddier as time goes on which would account (in part) for the lack of charges brought against him back in the 70s and 80s and the rejection of his theology by so many today.
