Reader Reviews
Robert Reymond deserves hearty thanks and congratulations from every Christian for this, his magnum opus, a 1210 page wonder of the theological world. Unabashedly Reformed in perspective, Reymond attacks each problem from historical, biblical, and systematic viewpoints, providing descriptions of the major positions and then unrelentingly demonstrating the superiority of his position. To a large extent he succeeds. There is enough ammo here to win any theological battle in which you might find yourself engaged. With Reymond on your side, you can easily prooftext your opponent into oblivion! This is no naive scripture-positivism, though. Reymond interacts extensively with a wide spectrum of views, especially neo-orthodoxy and liberal theology. Don't expect to find him addressing feminist, liberation, or postmodern theologies, however. The following is a summary of his positions on the key issues: Unifying Theme: Covenant Apologetics: presuppositionalist Bible: inerrantist Eschatology: inaugurated eschatology (amillennialist) Ecclesiology: Presbyterian Sacramentalist Soteriology: Supralapsarian Calvinist Anthropology: Dichotomist Helpful extras include appendices on canonicity, modern Christology, the 5 points of Calvinism, and Romans 7. A major bonus is the extensive annotated bibliography. If you are a bookhound like me, avert your eyes from those pages, lest your pockets surely be emptied!
