Bible truth clearly stated
Systematic theologies are not for everyone, for they are not bedtime reading. The market is students, ministers and the proverbial ‘intelligent, well-read layperson’. A number of evangelical systematic theologies have appeared in recent years, often resembling the curate’s egg — good in parts. The translation of Bavinck is a major event but we still need a consistently reliable recent theology. Douglas Kelly gives strong indication that his may be the one for which we’re waiting.
