Description: This fourth and final volume in the Theology of Lordship series discusses God's word in modern theology and how God's word comes to us as his controlling power, meaningful authority, and personal presence.

Dr. Frame says that God's speech to man is real—like one person speaking to another. "God speaks so that we can understand him and respond appropriately. Appropriate responses are of many kinds: belief, obedience, affection, repentance, laughter, pain, sadness, and so on. God's speech is often propositional: God's conveying information to us. But it is far more than that. It includes all the features, functions, beauty, and richness of language that we see in human communication, and more. So the concept I wish to defend is broader than the 'propositional revelation' that we argued so ardently forty years ago, though propositional revelation is part of it. My thesis is that God's word, in all its qualities and aspects, is a personal communication from him to us."

"John Frame’s course on the doctrine of the Word of God had a profound influence on me as a student at Westminster Seminary in 1971, and it has significantly affected my understanding of theology for my entire life. I am thrilled to see that Frame’s excellent material is finally being published for a wider audience."
--Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary

"The fourth volume in John Frame’s Theology of Lordship series, The Doctrine of the Word of God, is the best of them—and that is high praise. In a 700-page “draft” of what he hopes will be a longer and more definitive work, Frame thinks through what Scripture is, what authority means, how to understand inspiration, canon, and a host of other categories intrinsic to any responsible treatment of revelation, especially the revelation provided by Holy Scripture....More so than the other volumes in the series, this book works hard at developing its theology, the theology of the word of God, out of Scripture itself—and without descending to vicious circularity. This is an important book, and those who write on this subject in the near future without wrestling with Frame will merely testify to their own narrowness."
--D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL

"I thank God for raising up John Frame in our day. We are the wiser, the more biblical, and the healthier because of it. And because he has written so deeply and so well about such great truths about a great God, this will, I believe, be the testimony of generations to come."
--John Piper, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

"In my estimation, there has never been a book that deals with the word of God so carefully, thoroughly, and practically. I cannot imagine a follower of Christ who will not be transformed into a more humble and loyal disciple by pondering its wisdom. The content is up to date, exegetical, and systematic. The style is crystal clear. You will never forget this book."
--Richard L. Pratt Jr., Third Millennium Ministries, Fern Park, FL

"John Frame’s Doctrine of the Word of God is, by his own reckoning, his magnum opus, and I wholeheartedly agree. It is a rare event when evangelical theologians publish primary rather than secondary texts, but Frame has done it with this work—a constructive proposal that is as creative as it is conservative, “something close to biblicism” concerning the Bible itself. He has kept references to other theologians to a minimum (mainly confined to the several appendices) in order to focus on the biblical text itself, the personal Word of God. This book is a fitting capstone not only to Frame’s Theology of Lordship series but also to his whole career. It demands not only our admiration but, more importantly, our attention. Those who do take up and read will come away with an expanded and enhanced vision of biblical authority and a renewed confidence in Scripture as the compelling personal communication of the triune Lord."
--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Theology, Wheaton College Graduate School, Wheaton, IL
