Bible Note: Hi John, I quite agree... and then some! Phillip Johnson in his (aptly-titled) article, "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" says this, "It is ironic that Charles Grandison Finney has become a poster boy for so many modern evangelicals. His theology was far from evangelical. As a Christian leader, he was hardly the model of humility or spirituality. Even Finney's autobiography paints a questionable character. In his own retelling of his life's story, Finney comes across as stubborn, arrogant—and sometimes even a bit devious." Further, even a cursory reading of Finney's so-called 'Systematic Theology" should make one shudder and run! He was a heretic- plain and simple. The devastation he left still lingers!
