I have read these articles. While I agree with most of the assessment, I disagree with the way the author draws conclusions which Watts himself did not draw. At any rate, he makes a distinction between the kind of speculations which Watts made and the dogmatic errors of people who were classified as arch-heretics. They also leave scope for concluding that Watts was quite out of his depth.

I tend to think that about Watts and his assertions on the psalms as well. I think they have a flavour of stubborn, arrogance outbursts more that carefully thought out and expressed exegetical ideas. I think a sober and humble man would not have written what he wrote even if he concluded as Watts did. Maybe that's where Watt's errors lie, not in his theology 'per se'.
