Introduced to this as a textbook on Biblical Anthropology, I cannot think of a more constructive book for any serious student of the doctrine of biblical anthropology and hamartiology. Hokema has you thinking constantly and there is no "fluff" here,it's all meat. Grade A Prime to be precise. His other volumes on Grace and eschatology are also brilliant works, and they belong on any serious theologians bookshelf. WARNING: Not for those looking for light easy reading!- Wesley M. Burns
