Fitzsimons Allison's The Rise of Moralism (#28): Confusions with More of...
It will be a great, great pleasure to finish this volume on the Anti-Trinitarian efforts of these Arminian, Anglican clerics like George Bull and others (mistakenly called the "holy living" crowd). As for the proper nomenclature, they are "proud" and "self-righteous" men, to a man denying that Romans 7 applies to a justified saint. Bishop Barlow of Lincoln was, to his credit, calling these men to account as Papists and Socinians. Crypto-Papists with elegant words, nice robes, nice BCPs and more--but deniers of gratuitious justification.
Bishop Allison perpetuates the myth by calling them the "holy living" divines repeatedly, yet failing to notice how their doctrines are Anti-Christian sub-textually, even deceptively so. He can't and doesn't go that far. Other disciplines more widely are not evident here.
The end of this book can't come fast enough. Once done, it shall never be reread.
We understand the ACNA-catechism is soft on/around the edges on justification? With Jim Packer of ECT-fame as a chief editor? Weak? Not going there but we'll keep Dr. Cranmer's BCP (the ordinal is negotiable).
