Mainly his pluralism, but his theology wasnt great, either. And he didnt end up a baptist. Baptists should not view him as their champion. He bordered on "doing his own thing." Socially, he looked like an anabaptist (which is not a compliment).
I have files on him at home. They make for fun reading (in a morbid sense). I will see if I can pull them up.
