Doug Wilson

There is little new I can add to the ongoing train-wreck which is Doug Wilson’s ecclesiology. I have no new court documents (sidenote: Wilson’s defenders rarely engage those) and I am already late to the scandal. So why write something? Several reasons:

1. People sometimes ask me questions on Facebook or elsewhere on what I think about ____. While my word isn’t that important, some think it is. And if my meager post keeps some people from joining these CREC churches, then so be it.
2. I want to provide a snapshot of the key facts in the scandal. Whenever the scandal is discussed, both sides immediately harp on the key Christian slang words, “Judgmental,” “grace,” “Jesus forgives,” Pharisee!” What is immediately lost is “Did he actually do __?” I grant that I am a Pharisees. Fine. Answer the question.
3. Rebut many assumptions behind Wilson’s deviant theology. I was about to write “ecclesiology” or “family views,” then I realized for Canon Press they are basically the same thing. In short, and I know this is becoming cliche, his area is a cult. Plain and simple.
4. Conclusion: Since Wilson has been a vocal name in the War for Life and the War for the Family, often writing good stuff, this gives ammo to the secular crowd. And it would be hard to argue with them, admittedly.
