What's the difference?
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.
I own both, the BoT and the Baker edition. I didn't know that Murray rewote any parts. I thought that in his edition there was no appendix, only one chapter for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and no chapters on human will.
