Fred G. Zaspel reviews John M. Frame’s “A Theology of Lordship, vol. 4: The Doctrine of the Word of God,” which offers “a fresh approach and some new thinking.” Frame’s “personal-word model’ is effective, emphasizing “God’s Word as an expression of his authority and Lordship.” He proposes replacing “general/special revelation” categories with “events, words, and persons,” which Zaspel found “helpful in sorting through.” Stylistically, Frame is “a very clear writer, unusually able to communicate his thinking simply.” A highlight is Frame’s “frank and utter confidence in ‘God’s Word written’,” writing “as one seeking fuller understanding yet ever mastered by his subject.” The 684-page book is “easily and so quickly consumed,” proving “refreshing, enriching, and informative—all you could want in a book.” Frame “does complement” Warfield in this doctrine.
