Talk:Albert Barnes (theologian)

Untitled
What was Barnes's theology in question for which he was tried? 71.34.46.175

Apparently he denied that any individual man was personally responsible for Adam's sin, and affirmed rather that because of Adam's sin, all men sin (i.e. all men have a nature to sin), and only for their own sins will they be held guilty in the judgment. Considering God's words in Ezekiel (to paraphrase, the fathers shall not be judged for the children's sins, nor the children for the fathers) this isn't entirely untenable... 76.170.243.84 (talk) 23:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)u

Theologian?
Barnes was not properly a theologian, but a biblical scholar. It would be better to label him as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.70.80.6 (talk) 11:54, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Both 'biblical scholar' and 'pastor' would be correct as descriptions, but if the Old School–New School Controversy could be considered a division over theological issues, would it not also be correct to call Barnes a theologian? - BobKilcoyne (talk) 09:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
