   By the way, when Hart writes,

   In his introduction Lucas writes something different from the desire he expresses in the conclusion. “The most important thing is not that your identity is Presbyterian,” he explains, “but that your identity is shaped by Jesus Christ.” This is indeed a seemingly noble sentiment, but it abstracts Christianity in two unhelpful ways. First it isolates church membership from being united to Christ, a dangerous move if the Westminster Confession of Faith is right when it affirms that the visible church is the “kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, out of which there is no ordinary possibility of salvation.”

   It again becomes clear how the whole anti-FV crusade is political rather than doctrinal. Hart can say this and write positively about Nevin any attackson his orthodoxy.
