This is one of the best concise theological works I've read, don't let it's single volume fool you - it is a serious work. I give it five stars for being systematically consistent throughout, and still being practical as it's title suggests. It makes a great practical reference book for any believer's library. Highly recommended for serious students, pastors, bible study leaders, and lay persons alike.

This is one of the best texts in Systematic Theology from a conservative dispensational Baptist perspective. It is one of the few texts in this subject which takes on certain practical issues that other authors have ignored. It is well documented and well researched, and would make a great addition to any Baptist Pastor's or Theologian's library.

Barackman has compiled a concise but thorough practical theology that outlines matters of both doctrine and practice. Unlike multi-volume works, this book puts doctrine at your fingertips.

The author is Pre-millennial, Dispensational, and holds to inerrancy. Pastors/laymen from Bible Churches, Ev. Free Churches, Baptist, Grace Brethren, and numerous other evangelical/fundamental denominations and fellowships will probably agree with the doctrinal and practical content of this work.

Do not be deceived: though this is only one volume and concise, it strikes me as quite scholarly. A truly helpful tool for hands on ministry, and a solid theological education for the untrained.
