To Know and Love God (Foundations of Evangelical Theology)
Evangelical theology is a matter of thinking and speaking with and for the God of the Bible, in His relationship to all reality and all that we ourselves are and do. It is necessary for doxology, for devotion, for discipleship, and for directing our lives, and we cannot go on without it. Assuming this, philosopher-theologian David Clark lays out a broad, consistently centrist, moderately technical, analytically alert demonstration of the what, why, and how of the evangelical theological task, interacting at each stage with rival positions. There is no comparable general-level vindication of the evangelical mental method; this is a landmark book. Clark's ten years of work composing it were emphatically time well spent."
