Pink is an excellent and prolific writer. His writing style is much more readable than many of the older academics. It is also quite inspirational; most of his writing is more like an excellent sermon or seminar than a theology book.
His viewpoint is, of course, strictly Calvinistic, often slipping into what I would consider to be a mild hyper-Calvinism. He commits the usual offense of the Calvinist theologians, which is to construct straw man arguments against his opponents. That is to say, he defines what his opponents would say or think and then refutes those points ... but in reality, few if any of his opponents would ever actually think or say the things he refutes. He rails against a neo-Pelagian opponent from a hyper-Calvinist view, which is unfortunate. There is a real lack of good literature directly engaging the actual views of the modern Armenian/semi-Augustinian rather than all of these straw men.
But the writing itself, and the scriptural support he brings forth, is excellent.
Highly recommended reading for all thinking Christians, regardless of their views on doctrines of grace.
