Wasn't he the one who coined TULIP?

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

Inquiring minds would like to know!

I've enjoyed a few of his works over the years, even if he was a postmillenialist. (I'm amillennial)

I am quite fond of Boettner seeing that it was primairly his work that convinced me of the soundness of so many of the Reformed Doctrines. I loaned out my copy of Predestination to a friend over a year ago. I need to get that back. It is thoroughly marked up, like most of my books.

Due to the Puritan Board exclusive, I seriously believe that to be most probable.

She's one of my favorite writers.

She's one of my favorite writers.

Yeah, but I have a slight preference for Jean Calvin.

 

[BobVigneault]

Jean borrowed a lot from her mentor St. Hilary of Poitiers, another fine lady.

The more modern writings of Francis Schaeffer are quite good too.

Not as keen on Meredith Kline, however.

 

[BobVigneault]

Good one Andrew, I was going to answer with Mariano di Gangi but I think Meredith definitely wins the contest for The Most Gender Ambiguous Name for a Reformed Theologian. Well done.

I Believe Kim Riddelbarger fancy’s her work.
