I'm not a pastor or anything close to that or in seminary. I wanted a non-calvinist systematic which is the reason I got this one. I'm reading it cover to cover, about 1/4 through it not, and I'm finding it easy to read and understand and it's taking me depths in study I haven't been before. I'm teaching my adult daughter the attributes of God right now and I'm able to get a lot of my information from this book. It's very helpful.
