5.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly, Complete, and Compact, July 17, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was introduced to this book by my pastor, who used it as a seminary textbook. Don't let the ugly cover and mass-market paperback format fool you: this is surely the most readable and compact exposition of Protestant theology from Luther to the late 20th century that you will find. It's even-handed, good-tempered, and refreshingly free of fads and axe-grinding.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, December 12, 2009
By 
William Hordern was one of my theology professors at Garrett Evangelicsl on the Campus of Northwestern University.

Hordern writes in a manner that is so clear and logical that one finds it difficult to disagree with what he is saying. He is able to take complex ideas and make tahem easy to understand, a quality that not many authors have, or if they have it, they don't use it.

This is an old book by now but the information in it is pretty much up to date. Wouldn't mind reading it again. Quote from it frequently.

A layman will have no difficult reading this book and will get a lot out of it.

J. Robert Ewbank, author of "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to theology, April 8, 2004
This review is from: A Layman's Guide to Protestant Theology (Paperback)
Since this book's first edition in 1955, this has been a great resource. The current edition, like previous ones, provide an understandable presentation of all the current and important options in Protestant theological thinking. Simple, but not simplistic. He does justice to all theologians he presents.

Useful for the Seminary student or the Sunday School student.
