Theology of My Life: A Theological and Apologetic Memoir

This book is an autobiographical memoir. It tells the story of how God prepared me for the work of theology during childhood and during my schooling at Princeton Westminster and Yale. It focuses on those events that shaped my theological convictions and led me to develop my distinctive emphases in theology apologetics and philosophy. It seeks to honor Gods providence in leading me from one point to another in my life as a son husband father theologian apologist and churchman. My goal in the book is to show how ones theological convictions are products not only of logic and reasoning but also of the events of ones life and the people one interacts with. These engaging memoirs provide a rare window onto an era and indeed into a godly heart. After reading these pages I have finally understood why John Frame thinks and writes so lyrically. Its because he has the soul of a musician. --William Edgar Westminster Theological Seminary Philadelphia John Frames impact on the evangelical world can hardly be overstated and the rich legacy of his works will bless generations to come. Dr. Frames books have often provided glimpses of his own life experiences but now his readers can appreciate the personal story behind those writings a story that testifies both to divine mercies and to human weaknesses. This existential perspective on the five-decade ministry of a Christian theologian is a fascinating narrative that intertwines the ordinary and the extraordinary with encouragements and lessons for all of us whatever our calling in Christs kingdom. --James N.
