Rivals the major systematic theologies of this century.
--Baptist History and Heritage Journal, July 1996 One of the
characteristics of Garrett's system that needs especially to be
noted is its balanced, judicious, and nearly invariably objective
presentation of materials. While holding true to the teachings of
his own Baptist faith, Garrett so carefully and judiciously
presents alternatives . . . that teachers and students from other
confessional and denominational positions will find his work
instructive.
--Consensus, 1997 If one is searching for an extensive exposition
of the biblical foundations and historical developments of the
various loci of systematic theology, there is no more complete
presentation in a relatively short work than this . . . Pastors
will especially find this feature to be a real help in teaching
theology . . . [It is] an indispensable contribution to the task of
systematic theology.
--Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, September 1999
Many students and pastors will find all they need here, and will in
addition be helped to relate their knowledge to recent developments
in the theological world.
--The Churchman: A Journal of Anglican Theology, 1991 A gold mine
of helpful material.
--The Christian Century, May 29-June 5, 1991 No book that I know is
more loaded with biblical and theological facts than this one. The
prodigious research that must have gone into the preparation of
this volume is truly mind-boggling.
--Faith and Mission, Fall 1991 Garrett has provided a massive and
scholarly systematic theology from a thoroughly conservative and
comprehensive viewpoint. The work is well documented in both
biblical and historical scholarship and will prove to be a
classic.
--William Hendrickson, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary One of
the most comprehensive, concise books of its type available; it
should receive wide use in the classroom and in the study.
--Robert H. Culpepper, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
