Description
Experience the essence of Professor John Frame's profound, creative, and biblical theology in a single volume. Writing in a warm, conversational style, Frame distills nearly 10,000 pages and many years of study into a concentrated, broadly accessible book that Sinclair Ferguson hopes will become the "most widely read and appreciated of all his works.” Learn about God, the gospel, the church, and the Christian life in fresh and exciting ways as study questions, memory verses, and additional resources—including links to Frame’s companion audio lectures—help you to develop a thoroughly biblical framework while never losing sight of the devotional nature of your study.
Revised and enhanced edition of John Frame's Salvation Belongs to the Lord.

“John Frame is the most creative conservative evangelical theologian of his generation, and I am delighted to recommend to another generation this excellent summary of what Christians believe. Here is the perfect combination of biblical fidelity, pedagogical utility, prose clarity, doctrinal profundity, and spiritual fecundity. Five out of five stars!”
—Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“There’s no one I trust more as a teacher of theology than John Frame. His unwavering commitment to . . . Scripture is coupled with . . . an enviable ability to communicate profound truths in ways that impact both mind and heart. . . . Concise Systematic Theology [is] my first recommendation as an introduction to Christian doctrine.”
—James N. Anderson, Carl W. McMurray Professor of Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte
