Short, pointed essays summarize some of John Frame’s central (and a few peripheral) ideas on theological method, apologetics, and ethics, beginning with Frame’s shortest and clearest presentation of his signature concept of triperspectivalism—the need to read Scripture from various perspectives, especially threefold perspectives that reflect the nature of the Trinity.
“Before this book was published, most of these rare theological, philosophical, and practical gems had been hidden away in Frame’s electronic files or posted on websites and blogs not widely known to the public. Do yourself a favor and mine the rich truths in these winsome and provocative essays (written in Frame’s inimitable style of robust charity) on a wide array of important topics.”
—Steven L. Childers, President and CEO, Global Church Advancement
“John wrote this book so that the average person could understand it, which is a concept introduced by the apostle Paul but little employed ever since. It’s like the nine-hundred-pound gorilla wrestling with a newborn and restraining himself: John could do a number on us intellectually, but he prefers to communicate for the sake of the kingdom of God.”
—Andrée Seu Peterson, Senior Writer, WORLD magazine
“A veritable cornucopia of Frame’s theology. . . . Frame is not afraid to slay sacred cows . . . if he believes they don’t pass biblical muster. Whether you have never read Frame before or have read all that he’s written to date, this book will inform, intrigue, encourage, edify, rouse, and convict you.”
—P. Andrew Sandlin, President, Center for Cultural Leadership
John M. Frame (A.B., Princeton University; B.D., Westminster Theological Seminary; M.A. and M.Phil., Yale University; D.D., Belhaven College) holds the J. D. Trimble Chair of Systematic Theology and Philosophy at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando and is the author of many books, including the four-volume Theology of Lordship series.

Review
"In comparison with the 'feast' of John Frame’s major works, these are the 'nuggets.' They still offer vintage Frame, and I heartily recommend them for their wisdom, balance, and incisiveness. Some have a more personal, informal tone, and will usefully complement Frame’s major writings, especially for those who want to understand the connection of his writings to the person behind them." --—Vern Poythress, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Westminster Seminary
"Dr. Frame has produced a series of theological articles that will engage the reader to consider more carefully the correct understanding of various Christian ideas that will confront him in the progress of dogmatic thought. Dr. Frame is committed to being biblical with a focus on being 'balanced' in one’s theological perspective. For Professor Frame, being 'biblically balanced' expresses his goal of a lifetime of teaching theology. He has not only sought to express orthodox doctrine from a biblical perspective, but also to convey a theology that is capable of affecting a Christian's total world and life view. Theology is not an abstract study. Understanding theology not only requires us to correctly understand the propositional truth of Scripture, but it also seeks to engage each believer in their daily walk with Christ. This excellent book is a must read for anyone who seeks to be challenged in their understanding of biblical and theological issues that face the Church of Jesus Christ today." --—Dr. Kenneth Gary Talbot, President, Whitefield Theological Seminary, Lakeland, Florida

A great introduction to those who are new to Frame's Writing
By Chris Ho
If you have been in the reformed circles long enough, you would have surely came across the name John Frame. Frame has often been praised for his lucidness, but frankly when I first tried to read his books (AGG, SBL), I went away rather confused. So it was with trepidation and a deeper desire to be better able to appreciate this theologian that I took up the task of reading this book. And boy was I glad I that made this decision.
The book starts with an essay on (tri)Perspectivalism, a great introduction to the distinctiveness of the way John Frame approaches theology. This essay is the best short introduction to the famed tri-perspectivalism and it is apt that the book begins with this particular essay.
The first two sections spend the majority of the time dealing with the theological topics that are the forte of Frame. In it, Frame raises many basic yet important and thoughtful questions that spurs the readers to become better exegetes (see his essay on what the bible does not say, in particular) and to think more deeply and thoughtfully over theology.
Following which, the next section discusses about apologetics -- another area of his forte. It is however regrettably a little too short! (only 3 essays on it). One would have wish that the second volume would hopefully have more articles on this topic. Following which, some essays on the topic of ethics and worship. These chapters, I feel were a mix bag, some were really good, (see his Family, Church and State: A Triperspectival Approach), some were just his responses to reviews, which probably helps you understand his DCL better.
Lastly, it ends off with some personal essays about the author himself, letting the readers take a sneak peek into the life of the author and a list of 100 books that have most influenced him.
Overall, I found that the chapters were not evenly spread, some were long, some were really, really short, which seems odd even for a book titled "Shorter writings", one would have wished that John Frame could have expanded some of the shorter ones to make this volume "fuller". Even so, the short articles were often insightful and perceptive, many a times after reading a few paragraphs, one is made to pause and ponder over what was written. And I think, one of the greatest gains from reading this book is that one would surely begin to think more "perspectivally" after reading it.
This book is surely recommended to the younger or newer audience who hopes to dip into John Frame but fear his larger and more challenging works. May this be the first stepping stone towards reading more of Frame for yourself.
Rating 4.25/5

Fans of John Frame must get this
By SLIMJIM
This is a collection of various essays and articles written by John Frame over the years that hasn’t been published, with some being articles on his website and others being shared for the first time. For anyone who is a fan of Frame this is a great supplement to the many works that Frame has written over the years. Ideally those who have a little exposure to John Frame’s writings (say a book or two or some journal articles by him) will benefit the most from this book. John Frame can write very lengthy books so I appreciate the format of shorter essays in this book. In particular I found the first chapter that serves as a great introduction and summary of his perspectivalism. This essay is very important in light of how some within the Reformed camp have misunderstood his position as relativism. If some of his opponents have known about this essay it might have deterred some of the unhelpful criticisms of John Frame out there (or then again it might not).
I also found the various articles in part one of the book that focus on theological method to be a wonderful feast for the mind—in fact it’s probably the best part of the book. Specifically I enjoyed his discussion about contrast and exegesis, with his call for preachers and theologians to properly extract what exactly the Scripture is saying and then correctly noting what the contrast of the idea is; this is important when we say that the Bible prohibit or refute something and people often err in saying what the Bible is against when in actuality the Scripture didn’t prohibit or contradict it.
In part two of the book on theological meditation I appreciated his review of N.T Wright’s bibliology in which Frame showed how Wright overstretched his rhetoric when he claimed in the subtitle of a recent book that he has gone beyond the “Bible Wars” by offering another alternative. In reality Wright didn’t really offer anything new and it turns out instead that at times he is unhelpful because he isn’t clear or too ready with the cliché. At times Wright turns out to be still quite conservative in his view of the Bible despite how he rags on conservatives. Frame also did a good job of showing Wright’s complaint to move beyond the concept of infallibility is inconsistent with his job of being a Bible historian is still dedicated to defending the historicity of the Bible.
Surprisingly the shortest part of the book was the section on apologetics. Here I have to level a criticism of Frame’s review of Greg Bahnsen’s Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended. After going through carefully what Frame has to say, I thought the essay really was not a review of the book but more of a celebration and recollection of Greg Bahnsen the apologist. Frame criticized Bahnsen for being unfair to Gordon Clark, Carnell and Schaeffer but Frame doesn’t really demonstrate that Bahnsen really was unfair in his critique of these men. It was more of a comment made in passing rather than actual documentation it was so.
The last section was more personal and had several assorted pieces that reveal more of John Frame the man. If you are a big fan of Frame you would love this section and Frame is pretty funny. I recommend this work to those who want to understand more of Frame’s contribution to theology and apologetics and those who want to get every work by Frame. These two types of readers will benefit most from this book.

A Good Introduction to a Gifted Theologian
By Amazon Customer
John Frame is a gift of the risen Christ to the 21st century church. Those who may be a bit intimidated by some of his larger works (such as his brilliant Lordship Series) may find in these shorter writings a good place to start in benefiting from Frame's Bible saturated, God glorifying, Christ centered approach to theology.
