This republication is a tribute to one of the great Christians and theologians in American church history. James P. Boyce, a 19th century Baptist not to be confused with James Boice the 20th centruy Presbyterian, was an eminent Reformed Baptist theologian.

Dogmatic Theology3 reviews
William G. Shedd

P & R Publishing, 2003

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

In order to write this review, I have to tell you a personal story. Back in my early 20's, having come out of a church tradition that was not Reformed, and to be honest, somewhat anti-intellectual, 6 of us jumped in the car one Saturday morning to drive from Rochester, NY - about 2-1/2 hours, ...
