    CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: Various Facets of Conditionalist Gem Presented

    I. High Scholastic Caliber of Representative Conditionalists

    It is again to be remarked that the men we have been surveying in these chapters were men of scholastic attainments, graduates of institutions of higher learning, with trained minds and balanced viewpoints. They were neither ignorant nor gullible, but sound, sensible, and stable. And it is to be noted that for the most part they continued, after avowing Conditionalisyn, to minister to intelligent congregations or to student bodies in institutions of higher learning without serious challenge or censure. There were, of course, flagrant exceptions to such treatment. And these spokesmen were not confined to any one denomination, sect, language group, or nation, but were scattered throughout all major religious bodies in many lands. It was a worldwide awakening.CFF2 566.1

    Furthermore, many were highly accomplished in Biblical languages, as well as in Latin, history, and philosophy, and were well acquainted with the principles of sound exegesis. They were not inclined to fasten upon some fanciful or irresponsible theory. They understood the involvements. They were exacting, yes, demanding in their scholarship, and came to their conclusions on the basis of substantial evidence and years of painstaking, competent study. It is therefore obvious that their expressed opinions, as champions of Conditionalism, are entitled to due weight and respectful consideration. Let us note still others, just as they come chronologically.CFF2 566.2
