About this title

Review:

Easily acceptable to the lay-people within the church, while at the same time retaining enough critical thought and depth that seminary students and pastors would still appreciate the work that has gone into this book.--Nathan W. Bingham, Calvinist (cal.vini.st), May 4, 2009
