Book Reviews!!

After a "brief" break, I return to tackle this book once more. OVERVIEW In this section of the book, Professor Van Til begins talking about Theology; specifically the being of God. He is very concise in his explanation; this entire section takes up no more than 2 pages, but is very heavy with...

OVERVIEW This chapter is considerably long, so I decided to cut it into pieces and deal with it little bits at a time. The particular portion of the chapter I will be talking about here is mainly about the philosophy behind Christian ethics. There is such a thing a ethically right and wrong, and...

I know it has been a while, but with finishing school, I have had minimal time to actually sit down and read. But, here I am, back to take another crack at another book. This will be a bit different than my first book, as I will go more in-depth, due to the fact that the previous book was mostly...

Part 3: The Five Points Documented: Recommended Reading OVERVIEW Oh boy...... this is my kind of HEAVEN! This section is dedicated to listing some of the greatest books on the points, as well as various other topics, of all time! Though this entry is short, the list of books sure isn't! It...

Part 2.5 THE PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS OVERVIEW Same layout as last chapters THOUGHTS Another great chapter by these well-educated authors. I really appreciate the time they took to put these chapters together. They are well informed and very to the point. You cannot truly appreciate it until...

2.3 PARTICULAR REDEMPTION OR LIMITED ATONEMENT OVERVIEW This has always been a very tricky topic to deal with, and is not generally warmly accepted by the majoriy of the Christian community. Set up in the same fashion as the previous 2 'chapters', there is not much to discuss in the overview...

2.2 UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION OVERVIEW Much like the last chapter, it supplies Biblical support to this pillar, as well as a brief explanation of it. The verses [ in my copy ] stretch 11 pages. Again, there are headings and subheadings for each verse, and each verse explains its heading. Very...

Before I begin, I would like to just say..... WOW! At first, I thought this would be a book where they just dance around the issues; I am overjoyed to say that this is not at ALL the case. Part 2 is SO heavy, Part 2 will be broken into 5 parts itself. That's right; it is THAT GOOD! This is the...

Part One: The Five Points Defined: Their Origin and Contents OVERVIEW A very concise chapter, I especially like the way the authors explain first the history of, and then the differences between the two sects of Theology. There is a very helpful side-by-side chart of the 5 points of both...
