An okay systematic overview

Though this book is a pretty good systematic theology overview revolving around the theme of the Trinity it is difficult at times to read. Though classical in its positioning, Gunton provides a very moderate evangelical perspective on standard systematic theology topics. Many will complain that Gunton likes to tread the middle path than landing his two feet on either side of the road. In fact, a conservative evangelical will consider Gunton "soft," while a liberal theologian will consider his views outdated. Despite this, the book is still useful for seminary students or ministers who need a quick reference on the standard topics of systematic theology.
