The Barwise-Schlipf Theorem

In 1975 Barwise and Schlipf published a landmark paper whose main theorem asserts that a nonstandard model $\mathcal{M}$ of PA (Peano arithmetic) is recursively saturated iff $\mathcal{M}$ has an expansion that satisfies the subsystem $\Delta_1^1$-${\sf CA}_0$ of second order arithmetic. In this paper we identify a crucial error in the Barwise-Schlipf proof of the right-to-left direction of the theorem, and additionally, we offer a correct proof of the problematic direction.
