Reviews
This is the seventh and final volume in Bloesch's series on Christian theology. It is written in his usual clear and engaging style, and it shows familiarity with a wide range of sources. The book is filled with excellent quotes from sometimes obscure sources. Bloesch's theological conclusions are not always anchored in exegesis of the biblical text and sometimes seems to override the biblical text. But he provides much food for thought even if some of his views are ultimately not convincing.
This book is written to clarify the tenets and doctrines of evangelical theology as opposed to, say, liberal theology, postmodernism, and the like. The comparisons are justly made without accusation or arrogance and the reader is left to make his own decisions. The truth is stated unapologetically and rightfully so. A great book...an easy read. I recommend it.
Helpful discussion and survey of Christian approaches to a number of conceptual themes in Christian ethics from a Barthian evangelical theologian
