A response to Steven Coxhead’s “Absolute and Covenant Righteousness Reconciled”.
Posted on December 23, 2009 | 2 CommentsSteven Coxhead has posted on his website these 32 Theses regarding what is essentially his understanding of the doctrine of justification by faith.

For a number of years students at the PTC have been confused by Steven’s teaching, and I appreciate his attempt to publicise what he believes so that is can be weighed against scripture. You might like to read Steven's Theses before reading my response, otherwise it will not make much sense! -
