"In its original form, this book was done as a thesis for the Th.M. degree at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. It was subsequently published by the Board of Christian Education and Publication of the Reformed Presbyterian Church (now Crown and Covenant) in 1974, then by Baker Book House in 1979. This edition has been substantially revised, to make the book more readable for those who are not academically trained in theology. References to Hebrew and Greek words have been removed, and questions for discussion and reflection have been added, to make the book useful for study classes." - Foreword.
