Guy Waters

One Brian Cosby has a review of Guy Waters’s book on the Federal Vision in the latest issue of the Westminster Journal. After a fair summary of Waters’s book, Cosby levels two charges: First, that Waters “criticizes the various FV proponents’ positions and doctrines appealing to older, unrevised editions that had since (by the time he wrote the book) been corrected and revised,” which leads Cosby to conclude that Waters’s book “falls short in the area of academic integrity” as Waters appears to look for “anything ‘juicy’ so as to built a straw man to tear down.”

Second, Waters is guilty of “idolizing a confession” by giving the WCF “a high an unassailable place” and even a sort of “quasi-canonicity” in his theology. Cosby suggests that this reflects Waters’s lack of “sensibility and humility.”
