From Doug Wilson:

He begins with a discussion of his appreciation of systematic theology, and likes the fact that I believe systematics are inescapable, which I certainly do. Connected to this is Lane’s appreciation of the Protestant scholastics. He likes what I said about this general topic, but takes other FV guys to task for disparaging the scholastics. I have seen some of that, but I have also seen numerous positive FV citations from the scholastics — Mark “Turretin” Horne comes to mind. These are easy to forget because the Protestant scholastics frequently say things that would get them in trouble in Mississippi Valley Presbytery. But they did write them, and FV guys have quoted them with pleasure and satisfaction.

I’m not the only one.  Back during the Shepherd controversy when he was still at Westminster Philadelphia, an attacker wrote against him to the seminary saying there was no precedent for Shepherd’s views, except in Turretin, who was really just a rationalist.

And I am totally loving the new middle name.
