Postmodernism (the thinking of our age) is fiercely antinomian (without law). It is admitted that people make mistakes, but the word ‘sin’ is seldom mentioned and the idea that we all sin against God is avoided. Right and wrong are judged according to human feelings. The idea that God has an unchangeable holy moral law by which he will judge every person is unpopular.

Erroll Hulse

Erroll Hulse (1931–2017) war ein südafrikanisch-britischer reformiert-baptistischer Pastor, Autor und Verleger, der überwiegend in England sowie im südlichen Afrika wirkte. Als früher Geschäftsführer des Verlags Banner of Truth Trust und langjähriger Herausgeber der Zeitschrift Reformation Today prägte er die weltweite Wiederentdeckung puritanischer und reformatorischer Theologie. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften eine Verbindung von reformierter Gnadenlehre mit weltweiter Evangelisation und praktischer Gemeindefrömmigkeit.
