Trade Review"Roger Nicole's insight, clarity, patience, thoroughness, geniality and good sense have given him anchor-man status for over a generation..."
-- J. I. Packer, Regent's College, Vancouver ((1926–2020), Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada)
"This is a magnificent book. Professor Nicole has been an outstanding figure in US evangelicalism for over 50 years and has been a founder member of the Evangelical Theological Society... Standing Forth is a collection of his most important essays and articles covering many topics (the doctrine of God, the five points of Calvinism, marriage, universalism, the preservation of the saints) but with a particular focus on the doctrines of Scripture and the Atonement. like B.B. Warfield before him, Professor Nicole seems 'constitutionally incapable of writing an unclear sentence'. His grasp of the issues and ability to present them with pristine clarity and simplicity are sure signs of the profundity of his thought."

"These pages contain a wealth of biblical, historical, systematic, polemical and practical theology. Every pastor will want to have this valuable resource close at hand."
-- Thomas Ascol, Editor of the Founders Journal (Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, Cape Coral, Florida)
"He fearlessly addresses in these essays the most serious attacks that have been mounted against biblical Christianity in his time and destroys them with impeccable scholarship."
-- Robert L. Reymond ((1932-2013) Professor and author of a respected new Systematic Theology)
"Dr. Roger Nicole is one of God's great gifts to the church. His careful study and thoughtful analysis serve as models of evangelical scholarship."
