| | | Chafer's Systematic Theology
I know everyone with an addiction to books has seen it on sale right now at www.christianbooks.com No one "needs" it in their collection, but it would be a nice addition considering how important it is in the theological history of the Church.
I bought it. It was on sale for $49.99. I noticed right off the bat he quotes the WCF a lot. Much is orthodox, some of it is plain beautiful, but he was a dispey...no doubt.
Just buy it.

Watch out for the antinomian OSAS no lordship teaching.

| | That is a book review for He That is Spiritual. So far, I've read the section on the divine decrees, it's standard calvinism. I wondered what happened to dispensationalism...it's almost all arminian now.  |

| I just logged on to retract or correct my post.  Chafer seems confussed, sometimes a 5 pointer, sometimes a 4. For a Reformed review see amazon.com.
