Reviews

[Richard Lawrence · Rating 5 out of 5]

A technical dictionary it is genuinely worth reading cover to cover.

And, having done it.... I want to do it again.

More can be said but if you want to get a grasp of 17th century protestant theology (i.e. the best of theology) reading this dictionary will give you a massive jump start, it's not perfect but I don't think there's anything else quite like it.

Excellent resource! We will be going through this text for our Intermediate Latin course. Must have for Latin students.

[Caleb · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a useful book if you know what you're looking for.
Not particularly engaging, reading it is like reading the dictionary... strange how that would be the case.

[Simon O'Mahony · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my seminary professors once said "before you buy your groceries this week, buy this book."

Having purchased and well worn my copy, I can tell you there was no hyperbole in his recommendation. Muller with great care, insight, and clarity explains the rich vocabulary of the Christian faith. Muller's Dictionary is a wonderful resource that pastor-scholars will find themselves returning to time and again. Particularly it is an essential resource for anyone engaging in theology proper.

This is a great resource for the Biblical scholar or for the layman alike. It contains many words, though not exhaustive, it is pretty hefty. It has been a great reference personally as I dig into my Biblical studies. I would recommend!

[Russ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Essential for any theological library.

[Ellie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Many of the definitions were extremely confusing. I'm not sure if that's because the concepts in and of themselves are confusing or if it's just poor writing.

[Michael Abraham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Muller is so helpful for systematic theology!

[Kevin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely invaluable resource for the Reformed theologian. I return to it constantly.

[Chris Comis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very helpful for many reasons. This will give you a much fuller comprehension in your theological and/or philosophical studies.

[Charlie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fine collection of terms, some with thorough explanation. One possible improvement would have been including or at least referencing notable passages in which the terms occur.

[William Jr. · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good tool to have especially when reading Muller's mammoth volumes on Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics. Excellent work Dr. Muller, thank you.
