5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent handbook on Systematic Theology,
By Jon "Jon" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Evangelical Theology: A Historical, Biblical, and Contemporary Survey and Review (Paperback)
Dr. Lightner's clear, concise presentation of the classical dispensational position makes this book a must have for any Bible Teacher's library. He does and excellent job of presenting historical and biblical background as well as differing opinions to each of the major areas of the Christian Belief.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent textbook for basic theology,
This review is from: Handbook of Evangelical Theology: A Historical, Biblical, and Contemporary Survey and Review (Paperback)
Lightner presents the basic points for premillennial dispensationalism in an easy-to-read style. He covers much ground offering the reader a synopsis of 2000 years worth of orthodoxy. While not as voluminous as Grudem or Erickson, the book nonetheless helps the layman understand various issues of popular debate in evangelicism.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Must have book for serious Bible students,
By William D. Curnutt "Pastor Dan" (Wichita, KS, United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Handbook of Evangelical Theology: A Historical, Biblical, and Contemporary Survey and Review (Paperback)
This is a great concise rendering of the Theology that most conservative Christians live by. I use this book as a primer for my Freshman College Students who are headed off to Secular Universities. I think it gives them a great tool for researching what they believe about the Bible so that they have a concise answer to other students about why they believe what they believe.
Also, this is a great book for any Church Volunteer Staff Worker that is working with middle school, high school or college students. While I was youth pastoring I would make sure that each of my staff had access to a copy of this book. This is a must reference book for your shelf. You won't be disappointed with Dr. Lightner's writing. Enjoy!
