Ron Gleason on Sean Lucas on Presbyterianism

My friend Ron Gleason, reviews my friend Sean Lucas' new book on Presbyterianism.

Book Review

Sean Michael Lucas, On Being Presbyterian, Our Beliefs, Practices, and Stories, (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co., 2006). 271 pp. reviewed by Ron Gleason, Ph.D.

Few books, written in a popular style, communicate substantive content. Those kinds of books do exist, but in the world of the modern Church they are on the endangered species list. On a recent trip back to Southern California from Atlanta one of my seat mates was reading J.I. Packer’s classic work Knowing God. That is the kind of book I’m talking about. R.C. Sproul, John Piper, and others also write substantive popular books.
