When he is expounding scripture, Dr. MacArthur is at his strongest. This book contains an excellent study of portions of the book of Jude. Those familiar with Dr. MacArthur’s skill as an expositor and his strong commitment to stay close to the message of scripture will be pleased with this book. Dr. MacArthur does mention that he has covered the Biblical material elsewhere, but this book is more pointed towards the issues of postmodernism, relativism and the emerging church.

When Dr. MacArthur leaves his specialty of exposition, he is a different writer, one far less commendable.

I must say that I share this view. I learned a lot from MacArthur over the years and still do from Team Pyro and Pulpit Magazine. I can point to no other group who so consistently "nails it" when doing Bible exposition. One wonders why they feel such a strong need to leave exposition and deliver content far below their demonstrated capability.
