Rick Shrader‘s Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed this 2008 book edited by Christopher Cone. This book is printed by and largely produced by faculty from Tyndale Theological Seminary. Cone is professor of Bible and Theology there. The book is dedicated to Charles Ryrie and is based on his style of traditional dispensationalism. The chapters are written by five faculty from Tyndale Seminary and fifteen other writers. These include John C. Whitcomb, Robert L. Thomas, Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Mike Stallard, Paul Benware, and others. The book stays within the boundaries both theological and hermeneutical held by Ryrie as a traditional dispensationalist. A listing of the chapters and authors will suffice for the reader to know the direction of the book. The book is 492 pages in length.
