On Theology: Explorations and Controversies

Throughout his long and prolific career, John Frame has written with remarkable breadth, covering systematic theology, epistemology, ethics, apologetics, philosophy, worship, and the intersection of Christian faith with virtually every dimension of contemporary life. On Theology: Explorations and Controversies gathers the fruits of that breadth in a single, richly varied collection of eighty concise reflections drawn from across the full range of Frame's theological interests and engagements. The essays range widely in subject and tone: from careful technical analyses of contested theological positions to accessible reflections on practical Christian living; from engagement with longstanding philosophical debates to observations on current controversies within the church. What holds them together is Frame's characteristic approach, his commitment to biblical authority, his perspectival method, and his gift for writing about complex ideas with a clarity that invites rather than intimidates. For readers already familiar with Frame's major systematic works, On Theology offers a more personal and wide-ranging encounter with his thought, a window into the breadth of interests and quality of reflection that have made him one of the most productive Reformed theologians of his generation. For new readers, it is an ideal introduction: substantive without being overwhelming, and consistently rewarding across its full range of topics.
