RECOMMENDED BOOKS - WAYNE GRUDEM

Dr. Grudem has a B.A. from Harvard, M.Div. from Westminster Theological Seminary, and Ph.D. from Cambridge - very smart to say the least! Dr. Grudem is the author of a number of excellent books including Systematic Theology and a simplified systematic theology for guys like me called Bible Doctrine. He is the cofounder of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Dr. Grudem is now the Research Professor of Bible and Theology at Phoenix Seminary, having previously taught at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School for 20 years.


SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY
Wayne Grudem

Category: Theology
Click Here To OrderThe Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, studying theology and doctrine organized around fairly standard categories such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. This introduction to systematic theology has several distinctive features: A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine and teaching; 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 with each chapter; Bibliographies with each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies. This book is the most clear, well thought out, and accessible systematic theology I have attempted to navigate.

Grudem's Systematic Theology is just a superb even handed examination of the Scriptures. My first port of call after Scripture itself.
