For those who like Reformed Theology..
Highly Recommended !!!
I have this book and its a great book for detailed information for basic Christian foundations. With scholarly rigor and a pastor's heart, Boice carefully opens the topics of the nature of God, the character of his natural and special revelation, the fall, and the person and the work of Christ. He then goes on to consider the work of the Holy Spirit in justification and sanctification. The book closes with careful discussion of ecclesiology and eschatology.
*clearly organized
*subject, Scripture indexes
*readable
*four volumes together in one book
*great for students, pastors, teachers and laypeople alike
