Concise yet thorough, well-reasoned, on point, Great job. And that OSU poster in the back - subscribed. Pistols Firing!
God bless, brother.

I love your channel, but I must confess something. I saw the screenshot and I thought Sheldon Cooper is doing reviews on Systematic Theologies??? I'm there!!! Love your channel and may God bless your ministry.

These weren't mentioned in the video, but I'd recommend the following for someone who has never read any systematic theology at all (and is within the Reformed camp):

A Summary of Christian Doctrine (Berkhof). Since there are people who might be intimidated by Berkhof's Systematic Theology. This is a much more concise work.

Salvation Belongs to the Lord (Frame). A relatively short but very clearly written, thought-provoking, and even theologically creative (within orthodox boundaries).

I just finished “Bible Doctrine” by Grudem. It was my first book of this type. I’m looking for another book now and looking at John Frame or James Boice. Thanks for your video.

Greetings from Scotland :-) Enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I was wondering if you could in the future an asessment on NT Wright in what exactly he teaches and what are his strengths and weakness. And what we should be cautious of when reading him.

Greetings, TNP: I subscribed to your channel before I finished watching your review of one-volume systematic theologies.

[kendrasong]

That about John Frame? I was looking at that one? Thoughts?

[kellysdad]

Berkhof's strong on soteriology but weak on ecclesiology & eschatology. Watson's divinity is THE BEST! Nothing more, nothing less!!

[donaldmorrison]

You’re right, you are going to get flack about Berkhof’s placing in this list - I almost fell over 😂.

Brother, any chance on a review of Joel Beeke/Mark Jones "A Puritan Theology /Doctrine for Life"? I've seen so much about him and being the "modern Puritan" author/teacher. I've listened to him just recently after researching him some and he seems solid. Your thoughts.
P.S.
I've been into the centuries old Reformers/Puritans hard lately. Thank you and God bless

Please list in description for copy and paste option

Uncle Bob Letham was my System Theology lecturer for my graduate diploma. It is good but I still prefer Grudem.

Hello, any thoughts on Michael Horton's The Christian Faith and John Frame's Systematic Theology? Thanks

[d.c.sodyssey]

why exactly should the shorter version of Bavinks 4 volume be purchased over the 1 volume abridgement by Bolt of the same 4 volumes?

Which ST book with a devotional flavour is more accessible in terms of readability/language, pastor? I mean as a Christmas present for someone who genuinely loves God & works hard at reading even abridged Puritan works. He is prepared to be diligent, although being autistic with some learning issues, the teenager is definitely NOT good at ‘language’ ability. Please say which - Bavinck or Calvin?
