It's useful only to rebut the Dave Hunt argument that Spurgeon wasn't a Calvinist - as though I give a flying leap whether some 19th-century Baptist was or was not a Calvinist. Too frequetly, however, it's trotted out by Calvinists as an authority to prove "Calvinism-is-the-Gospel." Frankly, I find that argument offensive.
