Second it provides a useful key for interpreting these developments through the biblical dialectic of God's transcendence and immanence--a terrific idea in my view. Third, it demonstrates that evangelical theology is at last coming of age--thank God. No other book offers three benefits of this magnitude at this or any other price.' Clark H.
