Review :
"A veritable cornucopia of Frame's theology. . . . Frame is not afraid to slay sacred cows . . . if he believes they don't pass biblical muster. Whether you have never read Frame before or have read all that he's written to date, this book will inform, intrigue, encourage, edify, rouse, and convict you."--P. Andrew Sandlin, President, Center for Cultural Leadership; Senior Pastor, Cornerstone Bible Church, Santa Cruz, California
"Before this book was published, most of these rare theological, philosophical, and practical gems had been hidden away in his electronic files or posted on websites and blogs not widely known to the public. Do yourself a favor and mine the rich truths in these winsome and provocative essays (written in Frame's inimitable style of robust charity) on a wide array of important topics."--Steven L. Childers, Associate Professor of Practical Theology and Diretor of the D.Min. program, Reformed Theological Seminary
"For Professor Frame, being biblically balanced expresses his goal of a lifetime of teaching theology. He has sought not only to express orthodox doctrine from a biblical perspective, but also to convey a theology that is capable of affecting a Christian's total world and life view. . . . This excellent book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to be challenged in understanding the biblical and theological issues that face the church of Jesus Christ today."--Kenneth Gary Talbot, President, Whitefield Theological Seminary, Lakeland, Florida
"In comparison with the 'feast' of John Frame's major works, these are the 'nuggets.' They still offer vintage Frame, and I heartily recommend them for their wisdom, balance, and incisiveness. Some have a more personal, informal tone and will usefully complement Frame's major writings, especially for those who want to understand the connection of his writings to the person behind them."--Vern S. Poythress, Professor of New Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary; author, Redeeming Science: A God-Centered Approach
"John wrote this book so that the average person could understand it, which is a concept introduced by the apostle Paul but little employed ever since. It's like the nine-hundred-pound gorilla wrestling with a newborn and restraining himself: John could do a number on us intellectually, but he prefers to communicate for the sake of the kingdom of God."--Andree Seu Peterson, WORLD magazine
"John Frame is certainly one of those 'dangerous theologians.' Of course, that means he is mild and loving, even as he confronts error boldly and builds the necessary biblical-theological frameworks for our times. He covers many important topics with our necessary standards for accounting (cf. Heb. 4:12-13). We see more of the sea lanes traversed as he pursues that Great White Whale of biblical truth applied!"--Andrew J. Peterson, Ph.D., President, Reformed Theological Seminary, Global Education
"Now, reaching the end of his teaching career, Frame wants to impart in his Selected Shorter Writings 'the most important thoughts I would like to leave to the next generation.' Since these are Frame's 'most important thoughts, ' I find myself savoring each word."--John Barber, pastor of Cornerstone Presbyterian Church in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and an adjunct professor of Fine Arts at Saints Bible Institute, San Lorenzo, Italy.
