Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon

Hasn't Princeton already shown us the end of such thinking and the development of liberal Protestantism's heretical social gospel?

By the same logic (i.e. if Princeton's turn to liberalism can be attributed to the natural law doctrine of its confessional days), wouldn't the Billy Sunday-style pietism and the liberalism that developed in America's Presbyterian churches likewise have shown us "the end of such thinking" with respect to basic Reformed confessionalism?

Yes, I've read the book review and response, just wondered if anyone had actually read the book.

Would it be fair to say that natural law only "works" in societies that essentially presuppose a Christian ethic even though it may not be officially "Christian"?

It appears that many in the PCA are bent on rehearsing those errors with what amounts to a social gospel.
