Pastor Wells’ Review of "The Escondido Theology"
Daniel Wells, a self-described “young pastor,” has posted an interesting review of Frame’s “The Escondido Theology.” It is interesting, because I think both Frame’s supporters and supporters of E2k will find things in it they won’t like.

Westminster West and Frame's Point 27
Frame’s point 27 (from this list) of Escondido Theology is this: “The Sabbath pertains only to worship, not to daily work. So worship should occur on the Lord’s Day, but work need not cease.” Meredith Kline wrote: Moreover, since the Sabbath is a sign of sanctification marking that which receives its imprint as belonging to…
