This is an excellent point, and I would say the same thing about Clark. Van Til and some other seminary professors weren't happy with the Church's approval of Clark's orthodoxy and tried to have his ordination revoked. Some folks then and now don't seem to consistently ask the same "do you find it odd" question with regard to him.

Nice parenthetical aside, by the way.
Would it bother you that Clark told his students to read Van Til's stuff on philosophy for edification?

And Muether's bio demonstrates that CVT didn't play that big a role in Clark's trial.

This statement by VanTil is heresy, no matter how you slice it. Many people are quick to defend him, but if he is heretical on the trinity that affects everything. I still am a Clarkian because I find him to be much easier to follow then VanTil.
Has anyone actually bothered to read the expositions on this point? Like what Doug Jones said and Frame's relevant chapters on this? No, that would be too easy.
