Rating: - One of the greats!
James Montgomery Boice's theology is one every pastor should have. He was a true warrior for the truth. Thank God for his legacy and faithfullness. This volume is helpful because it is pastoral and not as technical as other systematic theologies. You need both for helpful instruction.
Rating: - Theology Made Practical

Rating: - Looking for a kind Calvinist?
If you're looking for a kind, generous, wonderfully readable Calvinist, (the late) Dr. Boice is your man. R.C.

In my reviews, I don't like to rehash the contents of a book, especially an exceptional book like Foundations. I guess I like readers to savor the experience as the Holy Spirit guides ... Read More

The article explained by Mr Boice is very informative, and indept to confirm the serious Bible study individual in Foundations of the Christian Faith.
