I don't see many religious posts here, except for @suspended, so I'll be interested to here your thoughts on it. Also, there's a certain rhythm to reading the article. It may start out rough, but it does get easier, and the ideas discussed in it are definitely valuable, at least if you're interested in a Reformed perspective on Biblical continuity.
Edit: JI wasn't very clear. The article is against the dichotomy, I am too.
Thanks for the change of title. Sorry that I wasn't clear. I don't believe there is a dichotomy, and the article argues explicitly that there isn't. I'll update my comment to make it clearer....

This false dichotomy of a 'Hebrew Bible God' versus an 'Early Jesus Movement God' is a mistake that is easily made by so many people.
Sorry that I wasn't clear. I don't believe there is a dichotomy, and the article argues explicitly that there isn't. I'll update my comment to make it clearer.
Edit: Also, I should emphasize that this is a religious article, and Kline presumably doesn't agree with higher criticism, and other modern critical techniques. I think his article is lit despite that.
