The "bath water" of his theology is this Theonomy stuff. I would rather toss that out and remember him for all of the good he has done for the Church.

It is nie impossible to separate Bahnsen's Apologetics from his Theonomy.
As far as Calvin and Turretin go we must be careful not to make Calvin, Turretin, etc... as "near-Scripture" but as godly (and decidedly more competent than me) expositors of Scripture whose wisdom is to be consulted.
