Wayne A. Grudem

May 2009 · Zondervan Academic

About this ebook

The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, of studying biblical teaching on centrally important doctrines such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. Wayne Grudem's bestselling Systematic Theology has several distinctive features:

• A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine
• Clear writing, with technical terms kept to a minimum
• A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today
• A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect
• Frequent application to life
• Resources for worship within each chapter

Bibliographies in each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies.

Ratings and reviews

Grudem does an amazing job of explaining many doctrines, some of them rather difficult, with great humbleness. He always backs up his position with multiple Scriptures and dives into the Greek on many occasions. He keeps things in terms that non-seminary students would be able to understand. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to start learning how to defend their faith, understand more of what the entire Bible says on many topics, and ultimately wants to grow in their relationship with God.

Bring a pad and pencil...because you'll be taking notes as Wayne guides you through some oft asked questions...he answers the main tenants of the Christian Worldview. Good job, Sir.

Every seeking serious Christian should be responsible for knowing their theology. An exciting read with Bible next to you. A must for all "Christians!!!"
