Title: For the Layperson
Review: This systematic theology is well suited for someone without any background in Greek or Hebrew or experience in exegesis. I found it simple enough that a reasonably educated person in any field of study should have no difficulty reading it and understanding the subject matter. Its not at a graduate level specialization in theology.I sometimes wonder what has happened to the great scholars such as Barth, K&D, Gesenius, etc. Back in their day and in some European countries you didn't come out of highschool without Latin, Greek and four other spoken languages. Their level of learnedness and scholasticism leaves us trailing behind today and Erickson's book as seminary material is a case in point. A person with no background in theology can pick Erickson's book up and understand it. Try that with a graduate text in mathematics, theoretical physics or chemistry.
