The first of three volumes of Frame's shorter writings published by P&R, released in May 2014 (336 pages). According to the publisher, its short, pointed essays summarise some of Frame's central, and a few peripheral, ideas on theological method, apologetics and ethics, and the collection opens with his shortest and clearest presentation of triperspectivalism, his practice of reading Scripture from several perspectives, especially threefold ones that reflect the Trinity. Many of the pieces had first appeared in journals, reference works or on the Frame-Poythress website.
