Description
Perhaps the best known mid-20th century fundamentalists, independent Presbyterian Rev. McIntire was the gadfly of the mainline Presbyterian Church - USA (PC-USA) and this book is an example of why.
This book is a critique of the Confession of 1967, adopted by the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, a denomination that later formed the PC(USA). McIntire had left this body more than thirty years earlier, as a result of the Fundamentalist–Modernist Controversy, and formed the Bible Presbyterian Church. The first half of the book goes through the 1967 Confession section by section, while the second half of the book provides a historical (but intensely personal) overview.
