In 2006 John Frame’s short systematic theology released.
On November 1 (seven years later), his massive systematic theology will release:
John M. Frame. Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Christian Belief. Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing, 2013. 1,280 pages.
I recently read it, and I’m already planning to use it for some theology classes I’m scheduled to teach in 2014.
It’s typical John Frame: clear, unassuming, logical, and filled with threes. (If John Frame were a basketball player, he would shoot only 3s.)

Amazon lists this as a paperback. Is that right? Seems like an awfully big book to be a paperback.
Not sure, Mark. (I read a PDF.) But P&R has published other big Frame books in hardcover, so my guess is that they’ll do that again.
CBD lists this title as hardcover.
Their preorder price is $31.99 – $4 cheaper than Amazon.
Does this contain a lot of new material or is it primarily pulled from his Theology of Lordship series?
It is mostly new material, though Frame frequently refers to his previous works.
Will this be available on Logos?
Not sure, but my guess is yes.
Andy, thanks for the heads up. I thought DWG is Frame at his best yet. I didn’t see this one coming. More Triads since DG? There were 112! :-)
Wow, new materials than that in his Lordship series? I need to pre-order this!
Wow!
