Dr. Rudolph was friends with Drs. Van Til and Clark--sponsoring both as lecturers in alternate semesters, despite their opposition to one another in apologetics. Dr. Rudolph, an old line REC man, was supralapsarian.<brReformationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818168068978748081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15388492.post-73662695699387020062010-11-27T17:04:44.827-05:002010-11-27T17:04:44.827-05:00Charlie:
