Plain theology is right This is a great work designed for “plain” people. There isn’t any complicated theological language. It is the heart of an African American preacher to educate people in the pews. It is a good reference tool to keep on hand.

I love the idea of an accessible systematic theology, and this is relatively short and very biblically based, which is great. Only downside is that the Scripture references in it are all KJV so it's not as accessible anymore. But since it was written in the 19th century that's to be expected.
