The Doctrine of the Word of God by John Frame

Description: The fourth and final volume in the “Theology of Lordship” series, this work on the Bible as the Word of God lays important foundation for our defense of Scripture and also resolves theological issues concerning the nature of Scripture and also defends the authority of Scripture.  My Review can be found by clicking HERE.

Theology in Three Dimensions by John Frame

Description: John Frame’s Triperspectivalism has been useful not for worldview apologetics but also for positive construction of balanced, biblical and nuanced theology.  This is an introduction to his Triperspectivalism.  My Review can be found by clicking HERE.

Purchase: P&R Publishing| Amazon

 

Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thoughts
