Speaking the Truth in Love: The Theology of John M. Frame is a Festschrift honoring Prof. Frames career in seminary teaching - but this book does not merely collect essays on the subjects of Frames interests, it analyses Frames own work in the fields of theology, apologetics, ethics, worship, the church, and others. The authors include Wayne Grudem, Richard Pratt, Paul Helm, Vern Poythress, Bruce Waltke, William Davis, William Edgar, Peter Jones, Reggie Kidd, and others who are familiar with Frames work. Many are Frames former students and colleagues. This is the first large scale analysis of Frames distinctive approach.

This is a good introduction to John Frame's thought and contributions. I especially liked the many personal anecdotes that gave me a great respect and thankfulness to God for John Frame the person. This was a long book with considerable repetition. The articles are of varying quality, with some exceptional and thought-provoking essays and some fairly dry rehearsals. My favorites:
- Backgrounds to my thought by John Frame
- The Prolegomena Principle: Frame and Bavinck by K. Scott Oliphant
- John Frame's Methodology: A Case Study in Constructive Calvinism by Tim Trumper
- Frame's Doctrine of God by Paul Helm
- Presuppositionalism and Frame's Epistemology by James N. Anderson (it was actually reading this article on the web that persuaded me to buy the book)
- Van Til and Transcendental Argument Revisited by Donad Collet
- Neopaganism: Stepchild of Secular Humanism by Peter Jones
- Passionately Demonstrating Truth: Triangulating Cultural Restoration by Jeffery Ventrella
