 Simply Great..., 2008-11-02
This is one of the best books available for anyone serious about learning more on any given subject within Biblical Theology. The articles are surprisingly detailed for a one volume book and will be a great starting point for further study if you really wanted to get deep. The Theology is conservative and balanced and I cannot recommend this enough, it is a MUST HAVE book for your library and the revised volume is even better than the original first edition.
If you only by one general Theology book, make sure it is this one. If you only buy 2, then get this and Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology. Between these 2 books you will get most of what you need about anything!

 A Reformed Dictionary, 2008-09-24
This is a great resource, but it is extremely Reformed in its perspective. The article on the means of grace, for instance, does not discuss the Lutheran view. The reader is often given the impression throughout this work that the standard or only view on various theological questions is that of the Reformed faith as opposed to the Lutheran or Arminian.

Excellent book for the Serious Learner, 2007-10-27
This dictionary is an excellent tool for those who want to learn or are learning about the various thoughts of theology. It does not just represent a conservative theological frame work but looks at and give the facts about those teological thoughts that most would agree with and even those that most would disagree with. The information is very well written but unless someone is into religion and theology it may be a bit overwelming for the causual reader. It is an excellent reference too for the Bible and Seminary student as well as for the busy Pastor or Professor.

 All Over The Map, 2007-04-04
Some of the articles in this dictionary (and I have almost finished it: just about 15 pages left to go) are very good. Packer, Noll, Motyer, Morris, Blaising and Carson are always competent.
However, in my mind the good articles do stand out as exceptional. There are many that are simply bland, and some that are downright alarming. McGavran's article on the Church Growth Movement is alarming for its self-promotion; Nicole's article "Woman, Biblical Concept of" is a classic example of standard PC waffling on what is clear in Scripture. H.W. Perkin's article on "Marriage, Marriage Customs in Bible Times" was irritating in its incompetence and stultifying style --an editing mistake which obviously chopped out at least part of a sentence or so in my edition was no cause for regret, except that it made you look back at the previous column to make sure you'd read it all. On the whole there's a decent quantity of entries, although there could be more, and the best parts tend to be the historical/philosophical articles. If you want a reference tool that covers a broad range of topics you might be better off with the Internet.

Encyclopedic, Yet Concise, 2007-04-03
The articles in this volume have been written by some of the most thoughtful evangelicals. They are scholarly and to the point. Buy this volume and savor it.
