Are you familiar with Charles Finney's writings re Christ's atonement for our sins? In his book Revivals of Religion, his entire evangelism technique is built around it. Dr. Rice believed that Finney was a great evangelist (and by contrast, you pointed out that Rice believed evangelist Billy Graham was an unscriptural liar). Do you agree with Dr. Rice re Finney?

Actually no, Rice didn't. He always believed the best of Billy even when it was obvious to others that Billy was lying to him.

My personal belief is that one of the good things about him, giving so many people a platform and national audience was also hurtful to his cause in the long run.

Is that kind of like Calvinist claiming Spurgeon as a great evangelist when some Calvinist now don't believe in evangelism?
