The book is a adequate summary of core doctrines from a classic, reform perspective. There are sections which are brilliant, and others that are meh. Does not talk about equality valid interpretations of some of these doctrinal issues from other traditions.

As a layman, detailed debate about different interpretations of Scripture based on denominational bias is not a high priority. I struggle with applying what I already know to be truth from God's Word.
