His bibliography and footnotes have been very helpful.

I have almost completed his book on Robert Hall.

A fair response: I think being seriously confessional was his focused point. Are you able to specify the page(s) where he states this?

Several places he aligns orthodoxy with the 1689 Confession. He admits that Hall is an evangelical but not orthodox. I would disagree with Hall at a few points theologically. But the 1689 Confession also affirms the Nicene Creed. I think orthodoxy flows from it and Chalcedon. In fact, I would say those provide the broad boundaries of Christian fellowship. Yes, I hold to inerrancy in the original manuscripts. But I would not see that as a test of fellowship.

I do disagree with Walker's insinuation that if you don't hold to the 1689 2nd London Confession the denomination is going to go through a downgrade. I see no evidence that the Fellowship is in danger of a downgrade. The same would be true of other bodies.

Is this in relationship to his work on Robt Hall? The book?
