When newness becomes a preoccupation, however, it can lead to forgetting and avoiding older but real challenges and issues. While engaging contemporary thinkers, Engelsma does not allow us to forget older debates and issues. Building on and updating the work of his teacher, Herman Hoeksema, Engelsma exerts some independence in being willing respectfully to disagree with his mentor on occasion and move the discussion forward. Engelsma provides an accessible and up-to-date summary of an important distinctive Reformed dogmatics. He also challenges contemporary Reformed theologians outside of the Protestant Reformed Churches to think hard about questions they might be avoiding today. That needs to be appreciated even by those who do not necessarily agree with all of his conclusions.” — \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Bolt\u003c\/strong\u003e, Calvin Theological Seminary (Grand Rapids, MI)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The product of a lifetime of study and thinking on the Reformed faith, this book is a fascinating read and will be a cherished resource on my bookshelf.” — \u003cstrong\u003eDouglas J.
