Occasionally, a claim arises on the internet that Pink held to theonomy. This seems to have been initially raised by Dr. Joel McDurmon in a 2015 post on the American Vision website (the article has…

An Honest Heart
If the preacher gives a disproportionate place in his ministry to the Divine Law, relegating the Gospel to the background, not only are his hearers in danger of forming a one-sided concept of the Divine character but the Christian is deprived of that which is most needed for the establishing and growth of his faith in Christ.

The following letters are interesting on several accounts. First, the 1941 letter to the Colemans is a demonstration of how Pink’s own work on the Studies affected him spiritually.
