“Mr. Campbell displays a vigorous hostility to traditional theological opinions which will hardly serve to help matters. In many instances, he cannot escape the charge of having caricatured those doctrines in order to cast odium upon them.” Gerald Birney Smith.

“The weak side of Mr. Campbell’s thinking is his imperfect grasp of finite personality. He is apt to lose his way in reveries of the infinite. Mr. Campbell will probably come to see that his new theology is only a halfway house which cannot be his permanent home.” David Balsillie.

“One cannot but honour Mr. Campbell for the courage and candour with which he has addressed himself to what he believes to be one of the crying needs of the church of to-day. Still I cannot but think that the root of the evil, which he, as prophet and preacher combats, lies deeper than he realises.” G. Tyrrell.
