Title: dry and academic
Product review: Jensen takes the difficult subject of systematic theology and makes it unreadable. Jensen uses Latin and German expressions without translation. He makes citations and references without explaining them. I have a bachelors and will have my M.Div within two months, but this book was still tough, tough reading for me.But after much struggle, I think I got most of his points. And I didn't like them. Jensen puts God out there, and to a great extent, unknowable. I think that Augustine had it right when he said that theology was faith seeking understanding. Jensen does not seek to understand God so that we can be closer to him, he puts another barrier between us and God. This is a dry academic discussion about God that is utterly removed from the one who came to Earth to save us all. The only reason I didn't give it a lower rating was because the scale didn't go any lower.
