I've had Horton as a seminary professor...he's a terrific teacher. Here's a sloppy (SLOPPY) diagram suggested by a professor friend of Dr. Horton's which is in my notes from another seminary course . All the dates aren't right, but the gist of it is that "acceptable" theologies vary at different times...and currently, in spite of the official catechism (the first universal one since Trent) Roman Catholic scholars' opinions are as diverse (or more) than Protestant ones. The RC Catechism is the official doctrine, but it's amazing the diversity found in RC scholarship--going way outside of the catechism. There actually are a few RC scholars who believe in grace alone through faith alone by Christ alone today....and they haven't been excommunicated (or even fired from their University professorships). (of course they are a small minority...)
Anyway, enjoy my lovely art....

Thanks for sharing that. I love listening to Horton and find his writings very encouraging. Based on your diagram it appears that we need a new Reformation. (But that's what many of us have been saying anyway)
