Aha! It's you!

I wonder if you could tell me what you think of Doug Wilson... and don't hold back. Tell us what you really think.

While I disagree with much of his theology, he's done a lot of good work from the point of view of classic presuppositionalism - especially by arguing with the "new atheism."

He really embarrassed himself by associating with Wilkins, who is not particularly bright (and certainly no match for Wilson in theological acumen).

That was a really stupid move on Wilson's part and basically ruined his effectiveness as a culture warrior against the Dawkins crowd.

History is clearly not his strong suit - but I give him a lot of respect for dissociating himself from Wilkins after he did the work of investigating Wilkins' assumptions and for pursuing his research further with the premier scholar in the field, Eugene Genovese (whose work I've long admired).
