It's Here!

Those of you who get the emails from Westminster Seminary East's bookstore will know this already, but Volume 2 of Douglas F. Kelly's Systematic Theology: Grounded in Holy Scripture and Understood in the Light of the Church has just been published (Volume 1 came out in 2008). The bookstore has it on sale for 40% off - for one week only, beginning today (presumably, since I got the email today).

I've very much been looking forward to this!

I have Berkoff, Hodge, and Grudem. I've scanned through John Frame's. What's exciting about this one?

I think that, as an explicitly and self-consciously Reformed systematic theology, I would put it up there with the late Robert Reymond's volume. Also, Kelly interacts with some Eastern Orthodox writers (for comparison's sake, mostly), which one doesn't often see in a modern ST. Plus, he's a very good, readable writer. Volume 2, like the first volume, is around 600 pages.

The thing I liked best about the first volume was his use of the church fathers and what Richard notes in regards to EO.
