Roger Olson: A good new book on Reformed theology

I have to give them credit. Reformed theologians are prolific when it comes to writing about their own tradition. I have in my library (and have read) several excellent volumes expounding the Reformed theological tradition. (E.g., Introducing the Reformed Faith by Donald K. McKim, The Westminster Handbook to Reformed Theology edited by McKim, The Basic Ideas of Calvinism (really a book about Reformed theology in general) by H. Henry Meeter, What Is Reformed Theology? by R. C. Sproul.

The newest addition to my library is Reformed Theology by R. Michael Allen (Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at Knox Theological Seminary at Fort Lauderdale, FL [which I think, if I’m not mistaken, was founded by the ministry of the late D. James Kennedy].) Allen’s volume is, in my judgment, the best of the lot. I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in knowing about and understanding one particular strain or flavor of Reformed theology….

Read it all.
