PS to my question: It seems to me that I should also have asked who David W Cloud is, ie. the person criticizing DA Carson.
Johan,

1) Vern Poythress: I studied under Dr. Poythress when I was a WTS. At that time, he was quite solid in regard to Reformed Theology. But that was about 26 years ago. As you know much has changed over the past 20+ years. I haven't kept in touch with him so I have no idea where he stands now theologically. But my sincere hopes is that he hasn't "gone over" to NPP/FV as some of my other profs have. His older books are excellent.

2) D.A. Carson: IMHO, Dr. Carson is a "mixed bag". Much of what I've read by him is quite good. But some other things have not been so good. As with any man's writings, you have to read with discernment. We are all fallible.

3) David Cloud: Oy vey... Rank Fundamentalist who has a very strong aversion to anything that is even a shadow of Calvinism. Generally speaking what he writes is worth little, IMHO, since he holds to semi-Pelagianism and classic Dispensationalism. rolleyes2

In His grace,
