very informative and biblically in tune protestant theological work

this is a pretty good, fairly large textbook on the major (and lots of minor) themes found in the bible. the doctrine of God, Jesus, salvation, the Holy Spirit, creation and a host of others. Does a good job of letting the bible dictate the nature of the subject matter. Filled with tons of material and well thought out. A highly respected and learned textbook. A great theology textbook to learn from and interact with. Well footnoted and good lists of for further studies. This work is protestant, conservative, reformed and on a few issues it is just slightly baptistic, but not dogmatically so. Interacts with quite a wide array of perspectives and scholarship on many issues and subjects. For a much smaller scale theology book that is also very good, try Concise Theology by J.I. Packer or Know The Truth by Bruce Milne. I give Grudem's Systematic Theology four stars instead of five mainly because as a systematics book on theology, it doesn't do a very good job of grasping or explaining the narrative of scripture, that is - the story line from Genesis to Revelation and how it all holds together. But then again, that is the nature of systematic theology rather than a biblical redemptive historical theology. As far as systematics go however, it's one of the better more current ones. For some good biblical redemptive historical theological works check out: The Mission of God by Chris Wright, The Drama of Scripture by Craig Bartholomew, The Symphony of Scripture by Mark Strom and if you are in for a truly rewarding but difficult read on true biblical theology- Kingdom Prologue by Meredith Kline is amazingly insightful, though lots of mental effort.

The Christian go to book

One of my very favorites books for fast straight forward answers. It is filled with understandable & thoughtful explainations of many CHRISTIAN principles. Don't buy it unless you are serious or need a new paper weight.

I can't put it down

I have read a majority of it but I have not gotten to the part about the Holy Spirit so my review will be about the other sections.

I have found the theology to be extremely useful. I bought his other book, "Bible Doctrine" and I thought it was good but a bit imcomplete. This book far surpasses it. If I would have gotten this one first, I would have been much happier. It is very complete and references Scripture very frequently when compared to many books on theology. I have not found any scriptures written out of context or ideas that were not taken from Scripture.

I like the way the book is written. Each chapter does not rely on the others meaning you can skip strait to the last chapter and understand it well. It covers the best choice of topics. You can see those topics by searching inside the book so I will not elaborate.

I think that if you have been introduced to reformed theology and have a hard time deciding what the Bible teaches, this book can help you bring that issue to a rest.

If you are a evangelical Christian, this book deserves a spot in your library.

A Personal Pastor 24/7

This thick book is a real gem...it is so well organized and thorough...nearly every question I have ever had concerning the Bible and spiritual matters has an answer contained within the pages of this great book...it is easy to read..Bible references are clear..it is cross=referenced in the back..every theme of the Bible is covered...so many times we have questions we would like to ask our pastor after he is finished speaking and we may not get a chance to ask them..this book covers all those questions and more...I feel like I have gone to seminary and yet it is not hard to read his explanations based on scripture entirely. I would highly recommend Wayne Grudum's Systematic Theology for those hungering for more truths of the Bible and being secure in what you believe and why..Cathy Benson
