O. Palmer Robertson
Trade paperback, 120 pages, 2003
This is the only book-length account of the Norman Shepherd controversy in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Westminster Theological Seminary ever published. That controversy
lasted 7 years (1975-1982) and was never properly resolved by either the Seminary or the denomination. Written at the time of the controversy, Robertson's manuscript was suppressed by the faculty of
Covenant Seminary, which refused to publish it in in its academic journal Presbuterion for fear of offending the faculty of Westminster Seminary. It appears here in print for the first time, 20
years after it was written.
