"Shaw's work provides a miniature course in theology. More than that, it explains, expounds and applies the whole gospel in a way that will explain the message of Scripture, illumine understanding, stimulate worship and strengthen Christian living...Let Robert Shaw be your guide, reading him with careful and prayerful thought, discernment and appreciation . . ."
- Sinclair Ferguson
