This book emphasizes the fruits of Dr. Gaffin's labor in three key areas: biblical and systematic theology, historical and polemical theology, and pastoral theology. A wide range of scholars contribute essays demonstrating his influence in biblical and theological studies, and pastors offer sermons showing how his theology can be brought to the pulpit.
