Carl Trueman appears to own the picture. See: http://www.reformation21.org/blog/2011/12/two-disclaimers-and-bad-news-f.php
Carl says:
"First, I was only the keyboard player and we never produced singles, only albums. That limits my celebrity."
Preliminary observations that warrant answers: (1) Was Carl a Catechetized man? E.g. WSC? WLC? WCF? We strenuously doubt it. As such, how does he understand the value of catechetization of youth and adults? Given this hype, he appears to have none of it? (2) Was Carl shaped and formed by Prayer Book Churchmanship? Again, strenuously doubted. What does he offer but (now muted) enthusiasm by way of background? (3) Embarrassing photo. Clearly, we are not talking about classical and sacred music through the ages. He now sings Psalms? (4) He sure embarrassed himself and close analysts by his endorsement of a Baptacostal hyperauthoritarian and proud enthusiast, C.J. Mahaney. It is one of the more stupid and unscholarly moves of the year. This scribe has a pending letter with Carl about Mahaney. (5) I shan't, as an alum of WTS, be supporting WTS-east, on this and some other grounds.

| The Celeb, Dr. Carl Trueman, Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia, is on the far left. An unanswered question....is it the high school graduate on the far right, one whom Dr. Trueman supports for full and qualified ministry....old C.J. Mahaney? Is that Mahaney on the right with Trueman on the left? Trueman supports the Baptacostalist Mahaney. |
Well, I have to admit that I thought this photo to be just a prank. But, after enlarging it to see if it was Photoshopped, it is either a real photo, or someone has some amazing skills.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Mahaney? That was just a joke...
DJ, the question is really still open. Who knows? Carl needs to disavow it. But he didn't disavow it. Eegads, DJ, eegads.
ReplyDeleteDid you read Tomczak's release today? that's called "you shouldn't have dis-invited me!"
