Dr. Harwood did an excellent job of presenting the multiple views of the major doctrines Christians contemplate today. He applied a unique method for his chapter on the doctrine of salvation. In his words, their is no shortage of systematics on bookshelves today espousing the reformed/Calvinist view on the subject. He instead wanted to offer the "Traditional Statement" perspective affirmed by several former presidents of the SBC in order to ensure the perspective had a place on the bookshelves of theologians. He does offer opposing views and quotes in his meant for reading, detailed footnotes. I appreciate Dr. Harwood's effort and am more than excited to recommend this work to all who want to give our varied doctrines fair treatment in their studies.
