Reviews

[Jon Pentecost · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some books should be articles; some articles should be blog posts. This is a book full of articles and blog posts.

I think maybe a third of the essays are worth reading. Much is partly-formed, half articulated thoughts that honestly don’t do Frame justice. The best contributions were his essays from Lexham Survey of Theology and TGC’s concise theology essays (available online for free).

[Daniel Arter · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is essentially a collection of musings from a man who has dedicated his life to the study of theology. While I don’t agree with all his conclusions, it’s worth reading if you’ve read Frame’s other works.
