Not to discredit the man, he's done a lot of work that seems to be good. But does anyone else get the feeling he just regurgitates from numerous commentaries. I would figure with him being a seminary president he would have a good handle on Greek and Hebrew so as to limit his usage of commentaries. I dunno, maybe i'm just being too critical.

Maybe his theology would be him just enlarging his study bible notes!

He has an honorary D.D. from Talbot and an honorary D.Litt. from Grace Graduate School which, at the time, was not accredited. It has since been incorporated into Grace Theological Seminary, the west coast campus of Grace College and Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana.

The man is not a theologian, so this is surprising. Don't trust his Greek exegesis. He makes basic errors, such as teaching that the Granville Sharp Rule applies to plural nouns; this produced his teaching of a "pastor/teacher" rather than a pastor and a teacher in Eph. 4:11.
Edited in: I see on Amazon that Richard Mayhue is the co-author. I suspect that MacArthur's name is on there for the purpose of sales, and Mayhue kept the book from egregious error.

RC Sproul (his friend) is a theologian. Or does this mean that because Sproul also affirms LS does this mean that you do not consider him a theologian as well?

His highest accredited degree is an M.Div. from Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary.

Your sentiments are absurd. Think about it : Calvin, Gill, Boyce, Warfield, Pink, Packer, Boice and company (to name just a few)were certainly theologians. Carson, Moo, Dever are some current examples.

Nope. That has nothing to do with it. Mayhue, the co-author, is a theologian, LS teaching or not.

It can't be denied that Spurgeon was a theologian, yet he was largely self-taught as was John Gill and a number of others in the past.

Actually looks like Dr Ma is editing it, he is not main author!
Guess just keep using hi study biblenotes for his theology!

It seems that God is in the habit of using men who are not "Theologians."
Of course, what makes one a Theologian could be an interesting discussion. Lot of men (and women) out there with pieces of paper on the wall and many hours of institute learning that I wouldn't give you two cents for anything they say.
God bless.
