I have just come into the reformed way of thinking this year. After going through a Ligonier Connect course on the 5 Solas using this book, I finished out the other essays. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to ALL Christians. I seriously cannot tell you how many years I believed in utter heresy out of pure ignorance. Pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you into the truth, then read your Bible and if you get a chance, this book. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this treatise, which covers the basics of classic, orthodox, calvinistic theology. I took issue with some things--for instance the difference that Keith A. Mathison draws between "sola scriptura" and "solo scriptura". I was also not too keen on the following characterization of the four point Calvinist position as "not only...missing a point, but...missing the point", and putting us in the "...oxymoron hall of fame, along with jumbo shrimp and government aid."

Other than that, it is a great book. Especially inspiring was John MacArthur's chapter on Sola Christus. I would definitely recommend this as a good read for anybody interested in stretching themselves theologically.
