Anyone know about this book (Genderen and Velema)?

[StephenMartyr]

This book looked interesting. A single volume. Anyone know anything about it? Worth looking into?

It was my textbook for a required doctrine class at Covenant College (class was required for all students, only one professor used this as the textbook though). Interesting volume, decently easy to follow, but it does get bogged down a bit in addressing neo-orthodoxy issues in the context of some Dutch denominations (which probably made sense in the context it was written).

Ryan McGraw (visiting our church one Sunday) told me that he thinks it's the best single-volume systematic theology available now. (I wonder if he will change his mind when Robert Letham's one-volume ST is published this November?)

I might have to take a look at it

Here's Ryan McGraw's review of the book on Amazon: Useful, but with a Fly in the Ointment.

Oh, and here's an old PB thread on the book that you might enjoy:

I wrote a review of it here. Not as good as Berkhof, in my opinion.
