When I read through Frame's list, I got the distinct impression that he overstated that which pertained to those who were holding the line and minimized those who brought in their "new views". In short, he put a "spin" on things so that the traditionalists looked bad and the innovators looked good. I was particularly struck by his bias in the case of Norman Shepherd whose views on justification were and remain damnable heresy. I can't help but wonder what Frame's view is on the current NPP/Federal Vision controversy (damnable heresy) which is more than similar to Shepherd's view.

Now, was Frame "accurate" as far as the historical facts? As with all deceit, the answer here, I believe, is Yes and No. There is much that is accurate, e.g., names, dates, places, etc. But due to his "spin" how he described what actually happened is not wholly true. I'll let you decide if he was "accurate" or not.

In His grace,
