Reformed Systematic Theology 3
 |
Description
Book Introduction
A differentiated approach that makes complex systematic theology easy to understand!
Learn the teachings of the orthodox Reformed faith with your head, heart, and hands!
The church today needs a theology that engages the head, the heart, and the hands.
Too often we treat these different aspects of life separately.
As a result, theology has been practiced for the sake of theology, spiritual experiences have not been deeply rooted in the Word of God, and superficial pragmatism, which pursues only immediate results with a short-sighted perspective, has been rampant.
The church has suffered because of this fragmented approach to the Christian faith.
But we have learned something from the Reformers, the English Puritans, and the clergy who led the subsequent Reformation in the Netherlands: an approach to Christian faith that combines thoughtful exegesis of Scripture, a rich exploration of classical Augustinian and Reformed theology, experiential content that brings truth to people's hearts, and practical application to life.
We have written this book with a variety of readers in mind and at a level that suits them all.
That is, seminarians preparing for evangelistic ministry, pastors, elders, and teachers seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible while serving in the church, and others equipped with the basic tools of careful reading and thinking necessary for studying theology.
We cover very deep topics, but we present them in a way that makes them accessible not only to professional theologians but also to the diverse audiences mentioned above.

Publisher's Review
Jesus Christ came to let people know the truth (John 8:31-32; 18:37).
As the cross began to rise on the horizon, our Lord Jesus prayed to the Father, “This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent,” and interceded for those the Father had given him, “Sanctify them by your truth; your word is truth” (17:3, 17).
Christ has brought us the truth, the knowledge of God, which gives life and produces holiness.
Through these true words, God applies the saving work of Christ on the cross to our lives.
The job of a systematic theologian is to gather the truths of Scripture and present them in a way that, empowered by the Holy Spirit, illuminates the human mind and ignites the heart, leading the entire life toward the glory of God.
With the publication of this book, our attempt to produce a systematic theology that is biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical is halfway accomplished.
Volumes 3 and 4 cover the topics of creation, human nature, sin, God's covenant, and the person and work of Christ.
We are deeply grateful to the Lord for blessing this work of creating such a systematic theology.
The task of creating such a systematic theology would have been utterly impossible without the help of many people who were held in the hand of the Lord and used as instruments.
We are indebted to the many pastors and theologians, past and present, who have nourished our souls over the years.
I would like to thank Justin Taylor for his support of this project, Greg Bailey for his expert editing of this manuscript, and the staff at Crossway Publishing for their hard work in publishing and promoting this series of books.
Ray Lanning and Scott Lang edited our manuscript and made numerous suggestions that helped make this article clearer.
I am also grateful to the following theologians for their suggestions on various sections of this book, which helped refine it: Robert Oliver, Steve Wellum, and Stephen Myers.
And we are deeply indebted to our beloved wife, Mary Vicki, and Don Smalley for their love and prayers.
These two women are putting Christian theology into practice.
Above all, we thank the Triune God for sending the Mediator to this earth.
The task of writing about the person and work of Jesus Christ has reminded us once again that God dwells in unapproachable light and that our attempts to describe the glory of Christ are nothing more than the stammering words of children.
Glory to God alone (Soli Deo gloria)!
