Mathison should be commended for his humility and diligence to move the discussion forward in the best of ways.
Harrison Perkins, Pastor, Oakland Hills Community Church (OPC), Farmington Hills, Michigan; author, ‘Righteous by Design: Covenantal Merit and Adam’s Original Integrity’
My only mark against Mathison is that he did not write this book fifteen years ago.
Samuel G. Parkison, Assistant Professor of Theological Studies, Gulf Theological Seminary, United Arab Emirates; author, ‘To Gaze Upon God: The Beatific Vision in Doctrine, Tradition, and Practice’
Keith Mathison … refreshingly shines exegetical and theological light upon this debated topic …
J. V. Fesko, Harriet Barbour Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi; author, ‘Reforming Apologetics: Retrieving the Classic Reformed Approach to Defending the Faith’
This is a well–researched work on an important (and often contentious) topic. Mathison is to be commended for writing a book that is careful, clear, and charitable. Whether you consider yourself a committed Van Tillian, an appreciative critic of Van Til, or even if you’ve never heard of Cornelius Van Til, this book advances the discussion in a positive way. It is refreshing to read a book that aims to bring light into a difficult topic instead of just heat.
Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina
… a clarion call to the actual and so urgent defense of the faith. We all owe Dr. Mathison a huge debt for this gift.
