John Piper says

"Do we need to do theology? We may as well ask, Do we need to know God? Ten thousand times "YES!" Is studying theology perilous? Yes. But less perilous than ignorance. Will it be costly? Let the Bible answer: "It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes" Psalm 119.71.

Without the "trials of theology" we remain on the surface of the statutes of God. May the Spirit of truth make this book a means of true thinking about God, deep affections for God, and beautiful obedience to God, through Jesus Christ who is God"
