John Frame's Selected Shorter Writings, Volume 2

John M. Frame

Twenty-six short, pointed essays summarizing some of Frame's central ideas about Scripture, theological education, theological method, apologetics, ethics, and the church, along with essays on interesting personal reflections. The book begins with "Inerrancy: A Place to Live," one of Frame's shortest and clearest presentations of this aspect of the doctrine of Scripture. This essay is complemented later in the book by "Let God Be True: Scripture and Certainty." Other essays include "Why Theology Needs Philosophy," (presaging Frame's epic History of Western Philosophy and Theology), "The Academic Captivity of Theology," "The Demise of Systematic Theology," "The Heart of the Atonement," "The Bible on the Problem of Evil," "Tolerance," "Two Levels of Divine Blessing," "What Denomination Should I Join?," "Worship That Pleases God," "My Exceptions to the Westminster Standards," and (just for fun) "Triperspectival Dieting." You will be delighted, entertained, challenged--and come away feeling smarter than you were before!

Praise for this book

"John Frame's Selected Shorter Writings, Volume 2 is unique in several ways. For one, much of it reads more like a set of sermonic reflections than a compilation of theological essays. The highly practical nature of the work is likely due to the fact that now, reaching the end of his teaching career, Frame wants to impart in his Selected Shorter Writings volumes 'the most important thoughts I would like to leave to the next generation.' Since these are Frame's 'most important thoughts, ' I find myself savoring each word, even more so than when reading his other works. Everything the apostle Paul wrote is vitally important. But when I read Paul's parting words to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20), I want to pay special attention, because here I'm exposed to some of his chief concerns. Finally, anyone who has read Frame's Theology of Lordship series may have picked up on the way in which the theologian can crystallize and clarify a vital thought in a digression that can occur much later and under different subject headings. Selected Shorter Writings, Volume 2 serves to elucidate a considerable number of subjects in Frame's previously written works."--John Barber, Pastor, Cornerstone Presbyterian Church, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; Adjunct Professor, Fine Arts, Saints Bible Institute, San Lorenzo, Italy
"In the tradition of John Calvin (Tracts and Treatises), Jonathan Edwards (Miscellanies), and B. B. Warfield (Selected Shorter Writings), Frame has now published his own Selected Shorter Writings, Volume 2. As a seminary professor for more than four decades, he has distinguished himself as a prolific author and one of America's foremost theologians and philosophers. Before this book was published, most of these rare theological, philosophical, and practical gems had been hidden away in his electronic files or posted on websites and blogs not widely known to the public. Do yourself a favor and mine the rich truths in these winsome and provocative essays (written in Frame's inimitable style of robust charity) on a wide array of important topics. I highly recommend it!"--Steven L. Childers, Associate Professor of Practical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando; Founder and President, Pathway Learning
"In comparison with the 'feast' of John Frame's major works, these are the 'nuggets.' They still offer vintage Frame, and I heartily recommend them for their wisdom, balance, and incisiveness. Some have a more personal, informal tone, and will usefully complement Frame's major writings, especially for those who want to understand the connection of his writings to the person behind them."--Vern S. Poythress, Professor of New Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary; author, Redeeming Science: A God-Centered Approach
"This book is a veritable cornucopia of Frame's theology, and one will find here appetizing personal information no less than rigorously biblical analysis. Frame is not afraid to slay sacred cows ('narrative theology, ' the centrality of justification by faith alone, politically liberal evangelicalism, N. T. Wright's bibliology) if he believes they don't pass biblical muster. Whether you have never read Frame before or have read all that he's written to date, this book will inform, intrigue, encourage, edify, rouse, and convict you."--P. Andrew Sandlin, President, Center for Cultural Leadership, Coulterville, California
"Dr. Frame has produced a series of theological articles that will encourage the reader to consider more carefully the correct understanding of various Christian ideas encountered in the progress of dogmatic thought. Dr. Frame is committed to being biblical, with a focus on being balanced in one's theological perspective. For Professor Frame, being biblically balanced expresses his goal of a lifetime of teaching theology. He has sought not only to express orthodox doctrine from a biblical perspective, but also to convey a theology that is capable of affecting a Christian's total world- and life view. Theology is not an abstract study. Understanding theology not only requires us to correctly understand the propositional truth of Scripture, but also engages believers in their daily walk with Christ. This excellent book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to be challenged in understanding the biblical and theological issues that face the church of Jesus Christ today."--Kenneth Gary Talbot, President, Whitefield Theological Seminary
