Okay-- but in truth, you'll only read segments of Berkhof and the WCF. And have you seen Children of Promise? Very brief.

That said-- a good list, if a healthy one. And don't you love that four of these 11 were written or edited by Peterson himself? Yeah, he knows a little bit about the subjects.

What a great class. A lot of what I learned in that class (actually, class and a half-- Pneumatology was not part of the M.Div. version, but was in "Christ and Salvation" instead) is stuff I use every week, if not (at least indirectly) every day.

You can't fool me...Letham's book is short too.

Ferguson's book on the Holy Spirit is probably in my top 5 books from seminary.

letham's treatment of the L.S. is great (if i'm thinking of the right book?)

i'd say peterson not only knows a little about these subjects but a little bit about marketing as well. this is one way to ensure continued book sales. :-)
