APPENDIX
1. Material in this appendix is adapted from John MacArthur, Reckless Faith (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 1994), 35–66. That book dealt mainly with several matters that were especially timely in the early 1990s, including the hysteria surrounding the “Toronto Blessing” and intense pressure to gain widespread evangelical support for the original “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” document.
