Web Reviews of Banner Books 2008 No. 8
‘This is systematic theology at its most accessible and profitable. Step by step, Professor Ferguson leads us along the wonderful tapestry of God’s dealings with us in Christ, pointing out the details, pausing to admire the handiwork, and not ceasing to make plain that these are not boxes to be ticked as a matter of dry orthodoxy, but truths to be lived . . . this is chewed-up soteriology…made accessible for everyone . . . an outstanding doctrinal introduction, and one which should gladden the heart of every earnest child of God.’ [Jeremy Walker on Sinclair B. Ferguson’s The Christian Life]
