A Response to Professor John Frame

John Frame, the J.D. Trimble Chair of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary and a former professor at Westminster Seminary California, has recently published a rather scathing review of his succesor Dr. Michael Horton's Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church. You can read it here in full length. In short, Frame says that, while he agrees with the book "about many things" and commends Horton for his "passion for the purity of the church and for the gospel," he must render a negative verdict upon it due to Horton's "defective theology" with which he measures the state of the American church. According to Frame, the state of American Christianity is not as bad as Horton makes it out to be. Moreover, Horton is not a good representative of Protestant or Reformed theology since his perspective is "narrow, factional, and sectarian" (no, I'm not making this stuff up).
