Truth Aflame: Theology for the Church in Renewal

Got for school, but a great read!

Just an excellent book... Just yesterday, I read a section that examines the various "Creation Theories" 1) The Gap Theory, 2) The Flood Theory, 3) The Pictorial and/or Revelatory Theory, 4) The ‘Appearance of Age’ Theory, 5) Progressive Creationism, 6) Theistic Evolution, and 7) Intelligent Design. And, this was just one short section (maybe about 10- pages)... The book is loaded, through and through, with all sorts of interesting information such as this... Very well done in a user-friendly, easy to read, systematic way. Transitions nicely section to section, chapter to chapter, I highly recommend It! Great title too: think about it, "Truth" and "Aflame"

I have studied under Larry Hart and recommend him both as a teacher and writer. I like the readability of this book. It is easy to understand and follow as well as is a smooth read. I have trenched through some of the larger works and find them a labor to read.Hart is more grounded in Scripture than in philosophy or reason. You don't have to read a page of philosophical gymnastics to read a sentence of conclusion. It appears he attempts to synthesize his Baptist background with his Charismatic experience. I find it more to be a pendulum swing of one to the other. At least he is makes it clear from what position he is speaking. His sources are also well documented and annotated. I think this work is a good bridge between seminary and the pew.

I had to buy this book for class. Amazon always has cheaper books than my school so I always order from amazon. The book is good, no complaints there. I did find this book easier to read than other theology books in the past.

Larry Hart not only makes an effort to explain systematic theology in an easy o understand way, but his understanding of Scripture and Tradition is accurate and not influenced by the infections in academia to take a liberal, albeit incorrect,view of scripture. Hart is an excellent scholar and bible teacher...I highly reccomnd this volume....its the best of conservative and charismatic theology as one!

This is an exceptionally practical work. Dr. Hart parses complex issues in common language, wraps it with practical garb for individuals who are serious students of the word. He does it is such a way that both the average Joe and the more learned theologian is edified.

The best systematic theology book I have read. Even bettter when studied in conjunction with Oden’s Classic Christianity.

This is a great book. It is written so that it is easy to understand.
