Copley is simply a product of that cross-section between Fundamentalist Baptist and Calvinist. He was dismissed from the ICBCI (nouthetic counseling center for the state of Indiana) in a hurry a few years ago. Most recently, his adopted daughter Ruth Burger has leveled serious charges against him, and she is seeking criminal prosecution. If you want to read this legalistic and behavioristic twaddle, go straight to Bill Gothard and Jay Adams. God help you if you believe this counterfeit of historic Christian doctrine.
