"A New Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith" by Dr. Robert L. Reymond is a theological masterwork for the ages. Dr. Reymond combines a rare level of religious fervor and passion for his subject matter with an even rarer level of intellectual acuity and scholarly analysis. The result is a book which repeatedly draws the reader into new depths of devotion and worship as well as new depths of self-examination and humility while exploring a wondrous panorama of profound biblical exegesis and theological reasoning. Dr. Reymond is passionately Calvinistic; but in his presentation of Calvinism it is always substantial theological issues of the Christian faith which are examined with such religious passion and intellectual depth that any studious Christian of any theological persuasion will be edified, nurtured, trained, challenged, enriched, and transformed. Dr. Reymond is a Calvinist, because he finds that Calvinism offers a truly God-centered understanding of the Bible and the Christian faith rather then the man-centered distortions of Christian thought and practice which are so prevalent today. This book is no garden variety T-U-L-I-P. It's a resplendent bouquet of astonishing flowers that were grown and gathered to the glory of God.

Robert Reymond has produced a magnificent account of Christian theology from a Reformed point of view. His book is easy to read, and mainly concentrates on central issues of the faith.
I especially appreciate his work on the atonement, and all the multi-faceted aspects of Christ's death and the chapters on the trinity. I think he gives an excellent explanation of the trinity, and I found his comparison of Nicaea versus Calvin's views interesting and well thought-out.
My review is based on the first edition, and I eagerly look forward to being able to read his revision of chaper 9 [on The Trinity and the Creeds] in the recently released 2nd edition.
As a so-called "Credobaptist" and sympathiser with New Covenant Theology, I am not advocating his covenant theology or teachings on infant baptism. For those topics, see Wayne Grudem's excellent volume.
But I do heartily recommend study of this book which is a result of his 40 years teaching Christian theology.

Dr. Reymond, in the tradition of Vos and Ridderbos, employs a redemptive-historical approach to the theological task. His arguments are cogent and reasoning is clear. He writes from a supralapsarian perspective. Dr. Reymond has an excellent apologetic for the Bible as the Word of God. My only personal reservation with the book in his interpretation of Romans 7 as the natural man rather than the Christian struggling with sin. For those who want to read something recent in the Presbyterian and Reformed tradition, this is a must.
