Title: Good survey of Calvinist doctrine
Review: This was one of my textbooks when I was a bible major. It's a great, easy to read book that is often my first "go to" for bible questions.My only problem with the book is that it is specific for a Calvinist / fundamentalist / biblical literalist approach to understanding the bible but does not announce this fact. More liberal or just plain different approaches to understanding the bible exist, but they aren't really even offered a mention in this book. So while Grudem is the champion of this systematic approach, it's kind of just a survey of how his camp approaches splits in thought on different doctrines without giving the time of day to other thinkers.
Is the review positive or negative?
