Douglas Wilson, Against the Church, Canon Press, 2013, p. 54, Kindle Edition. Note: When I spoke to Doug on this subject he said his book Against the Church held his current views. He also wrote in the same book: “What I have written in this book [Against the Church] does not represent in any way a ‘walking back’ of what I argued there [in ‘Reformed’ Is Not Enough]. Rather, it is a straightforward application of it.” p. 205, Kindle Edition. ↩
