The Baker edition is simply a reprint of Pink's book.

The Banner re-write is just that: Iaian H. Murray didn't like Pink's presentation, so he took Pink's book, took out some stuff, re-wrote other sections, and added some new stuff of his own. Then it was published as if it were Pink's book. Highly unethical.

If Murray disagreed with Pink's book, he could have (a) written a long review article expressing his areas of disagreement; or (b) written his own book on the sovereignty of God as an answer book. But it was unethical of him to take Pink's book and re-write it to suit himself. Disapproving of the way Pink wrote, Murray, in effect, censored him.

I always urge people to get the Baker reprint. That is Arthur Pink's book.

Devout souls do not take offence at the depths and difficulties of God's Word, but are, thereby, drawn to intenser contemplation of them. - Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910)
