This compact handbook of Christian doctrine first appeared in 1936. Since its sixth edition in 1968, it has been reprinted 17 times. Does this make it a classic? Each section of this pocket-sized systematic theology follows the same four-fold pattern:
1. An outline of the biblical doctrine, often followed by a brief historical survey of its treatment throughout church history.
