Handy quick reference with a Reformed slant.

This is one of those "quick reference" type books. For those who need to brush up on basics; major theological points are put forth in a straight forward manner without the usual flummery.

Each salient has a page or two with appropriate Bible references. This format makes the book ideal for quick study or as a opener for discussion.

One caveat. The text definitely has a Reformed theological slant and may cause some to take umbrage at the tone of finality on matters that are quite open to reasoned disagreements. For example, the matter of Grace and Law. Opposing views are not given a fair hearing. But that is to be expected in a **CONCISE** handbook.

This handbook goes very well as a study guide to Berkohf's Systematic Theology.

Very good handbook that makes for a great reference.

Concise Theology

This book is very informative and gives very precise answers to the questions I had. Sometimes I get really confused in the other books to which I refer; but I know that I can go to Concise Theology and get the answers in short monographs.

A great book!

This book is exactly what it says it is: concise Christian theology. It is intelligently written yet not too difficult for the non-academic to understand. It consists of many short, one concept chapters, each explaining a single Christian belief from the Bible with the chapters and verses to support them.

Concise and to the Point!

I heard that Dr. Packer is working on his magnus opus, his systematic theology. I cannot wait for that volume! Dr. Packer is a blessing to the Lord's Body.

Theology matters! At last it can be understood easily, thanks to this "layman's language" approach to biblical belief. Authored by J. I. Packer, one of the premier theologians of Christianity, this summary of Christian teaching covers nearly 100 major Christian beliefs from a Reformed perspective. Brief, easy-to-understand chapters offer precise descriptions without sacrificing depth. Thoughtfully arranged and refreshingly readable, this is a book that belongs on the shelf of every Christian.
