Summary: A Standard Primer for Theology
Comment: I found this to be a useful, standard, objective primer for theological studies. The contributors, all brilliant scholars, were very fair to the opposing view, adequatley describing thier position and only rarely critiquing it.
I found this to be a fresh evangelical approach to the Neo-Orthodoxy that I am exposed to daily. I recommend the second edition which has been updated to include modern scholars as Packer and Lloyd-Jones.
Final Analysis
The qualities of this work are its objectivity, freshness (without being preachy), and its broad expanse of topics. The downside would be its tendency for being wordy and laborious on some issues. Do not let this prevent you from buying it, just be forewarned. All in all, a handy tool.

Summary: A great work, but sometimes biased.
Comment: No doubt this is a great volume and is an essential reference work for evangelical theology. The dictionary provides a good overview of the evangelical position on many contemporary issues in theology.
I am periodically disappointed, though, at the biased perspective of some of the articles. For example, the one on "election" simply assumes a Calvinist position (though many "evangelicals" are Arminians, and many Arminians even contribute to the dictionary). In this regard, Van Harvey's classic "A Handbook of Theological Terms" is superior in its unbiased treatment of terms.

Summary: Don't Be Without This Reference Work
Comment: This is by far one of the best theological dictionaries that I have used in my 10 years of research. The contributors of this volume are worth the price of this work two times over. The articles on each topic are detailed and very easy to comprehend. There are bibliographical references at the end of each entry which guide the reader to further research material. Some of the contributors include Gleason Archer, Craig Blaising, F.F. Bruce, D.A. Carson, Gordon Clark, Winfried Corduan, Bruce Demarest, Millard Erickson, Charles Feinberg, John Feinberg, John Frame, Norman Geisler, John Gerstner, Wayne Grudem, Donald Guthrie, R.K. Harrison, Douglas Kelly, William LaSor, George Ladd, Robert Lightner, and the list goes on and on. The book, of course, is exactly what it says it is; a dictionary. Therefore the entries are listed in alphabetical order and the topics range from Abaddon to Zwingli (and everything imaginable in between). This is an indispensable reference work that every student of the Bible or theology should have in their library. Naturally, it is a standard reference text in theological libraries and seminaries. I highly recommend this work!
