A Great Contemporary Overview of Christian Theology

Migliore writes with clarity and carefully pushes forward to a mediating position on several theological issues, though one may not always appreciate his conclusions. I appreciated his inclusion and treatment of positions with which I wasn't familiar, which treatments seemed to me to be balanced. As a Lutheran, I also appreciated his engagement with some of our important theologians and foundational documents, which speak to his dedication as a scholar. This is a worthwhile read for any interested in modern systematics, though this work is but an overview.
