Bible Note: Greetings Joe! I think the review was a little much! I think that particular quote came about because instead of debating his conclusions, Shanks opponents simply tried to get him removed from his college position and his church. Robert Shank though is not an Arminian. He was a Southern Baptism pastor and I think he taught at several Southern Baptist schools. His views on election are similar to Hank Haanagrafs. Obviously, his books were not very well received by the Southern Baptists and he was very strongly attacked after their publication. During that time, he was supported by Dr. William W. Adams, the James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He strongly endosed the exegesis of both of Shank's books. He was also defended, at least after "Life in the Son", by Dale Moody. Dale Moody was subsequently attacked for his defense of Shank's books. Since then, I don't know what has happened to Robert Shank personally. For the most part his books are very Biblical. My only concern with parts of them is that they get kind of personal against Calvin. Personally, I would left that bit out. :-) But, I would strongly recommend his books to anyone.
