When I saw that NetGalley had a review copy of Pilgrim Theology: Core Doctrines for Christian Disciples by Michael Horton available I decided I had to jump at the chance to read it. I have not read too much Theology for a number of years and this looked like it would be an interesting book to read since it was not designed as a college text but for regular folk.
After reading the first 100 pages (of 500+) I am impressed. It is well written but I wonder if it might still be a quite a challenge for the regular Bible Study group to plow through this. I hope they do but I would not want to hold my breath. Then again, I would attend that group.

Publisher Synopsis
The 2011 award-winning publication The Christian Faith garnered wide praise as a thorough, well-informed treatment of the philosophical foundations of Christian theology, the classical elements of systematic theology, and exegesis of relevant biblical texts. Pilgrim Theology distills the distinctive benefits of this approach into a more accessible introduction designed for classroom and group study. In this book, Michael Horton guides readers through a preliminary exploration of Christian theology in ‘a Reformed key.’ Horton reviews the biblical passages that give rise to a particular doctrine in addition to surveying past and present interpretations. Also included are sidebars showing the key distinctions readers need to grasp on a particular subject, helpful charts and tables illuminating exegetical and historical topics, and questions at the end of each chapter for individual, classroom, and small group reflection. Pilgrim Theology will help undergraduate students of theology and educated laypersons gain an understanding of the Christian tradition’s biblical and historical foundations.
