Er prägte die theologische Ausbildung im hispanophonen Raum durch Lehrbücher zu Hermeneutik, Gotteslehre und christlicher Ethik auf der Basis reformierter Theologie. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine Arbeiten verständliche und exegetisch fundierte Zugänge zu zentralen Fragen des christlichen Glaubens und Handelns.
