| | | I got Evangelical Dictionary of Theology!
I got the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology for my Birthday!! (sorry to steal your thunder for a minute etexas!) 
This is a nice book. It should almost be called the Encyclopedia of Enlightenment and Modern Theology and Famous People Through Church History! It's pretty thorough in its articles. And lots of them. It's a great addition to my Dictionary of Theological Terms by Alan Cairns. (which is Reformed to the core!) It's great to just pick it up and read, because of it's depth, even I can find things I've never heard of and enjoy new knowledge. From pagan worldviews to the fallacies of the moderns, I can use this!!
I'm not an evangelical, so don't get me started! The only downfall is that the translation of the Bible it uses is the New International (per)Version. 
Any thoughts? |

| | | Congrats, Tim. It is my favorite dictionary of theology. Fair, informative, judicious. I own the second edition in hardback and have the earlier edition on my computer.
Supplement it with E.F. Harrison's older Baker's Dictionary of Theology, reprinted as the Wycliffe Dictionary of Theology and available from CBD for under $17 for 566 pgs. One of my favorites can be found in the back-to-back articles on paedo-baptism and believer's baptism. Each one is absolutely convincing AND both are penned by my old prof, Geoffrey Bromiley.

I have that, and I love it!

| | | No, Dan. The Wycliffe Dictionary of Theology is just that, it deals with systematic theology rather than biblical topics. It truly was originally published by Baker's and edited by a bunch of the old (orthodox) Fuller faculty (E.F. Harrison, G.W. Bromiley, and Carl F.H. Henry). The work you mention was edited by Charles F. Pfieffer, John Rhea, and Howard F. Vos. | | The Following User Says Thank You to DMcFadden For This Useful Post: | |
