Speaking of the Manhattan Declaration...

There is a lot of buzz in the evangelical blogosphere about the Manhattan Declaration. Several folks have chimed in, both pro and con, including Justin Taylor, Al Mohler, Dave Doran, Dan Phillips, John Macarthur, and Alistair Begg.



The declaration is eloquently worded, yet everyone is not coming to the same conclusion about it. Some of us remember earlier declarations that also found evangelical leaders landing on both sides of the coin. Why?



I strongly recommend a book that R. C. Sproul wrote a decade ago that walks through ECT II and shows in vivid, high-definition resolution how to read carefully. It's not a long read but can make a real difference in how you read religious declarations.
