Product Description
Book Description
Wayne Grudem believes that 'theology is meant to be lived and prayed and sung' - but before this can happen, it must be understood.
In this best-selling textbook, each chapter begins with a clear definition of the doctrine under consideration and moves on to a thorough exposition of its basis in Scripture. Then follow questions for personal application which help to bring out the relevance of the doctrine to the life of the individual and the church; and finally, a hymn suitable for corporate use or personal meditation.
Controversial issues such as the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit, male-female roles in marriage and church, and the nature of final judgment are given a full treatment. Where he differs from other theologians, Professor Grudem is firm but courteous.
Wayne Grudem's warm, pastoral and practical approach to systematic theology has been widely appreciated. He demonstrates on page after page how important biblical doctrine is both for the spiritual health of the individual and for the well-being of the church at large.

Format:Paperback
I bought Grudems Systematic Theology in my second year of Theology in Leeds University. While I was there I found Grudems book a great resource to counter many of the arguments of the Liberal and Secular Theologians. What is also signicant is that Grudem does not merly set out what the Bible teaches in regard to theology but rather he presents to the reader the living God. Hence, one comes away not just being more informed about doctrine but he gets you to consider carefully the God who is self revealing and makes the point that, without knowing the God of the Bible all theology is as straw. So I cannot recommend this book enough and now that I have completed my degree in theology it remains a book of great value. You really get your money's worth!

Format:Paperback
This book is a real acquisition for my bookcase. It is very systematic (see title) and very complete. Sometimes after Sunday service I consult this book to deepen my insight in a special topic. But this is also a book of strong opinions. If you do not agree you will be irritated. If you notice the nuances you will judge it as a goldmine.

Format:Paperback
A reasonably detailed study, but presented in an easily understood format. Grudem examines all the key doctrines, considering different viewpoints and forming well reasoned conclusions, which he supports with numerous scripture references. A must have item for the bookshelf of clergy and laypeople who wish to gain an understanding of the main theology issues.

Misleading title
One reviewer here has called this book `the greatest single volume systematic theology book available'. This it was never likely to be. Read more

Slightly disappointing and misleading
First, let me say that I'm probably 95% in agreement with Grudem's evangelical outlook. This book is written from that standpoint, and I personally have no problem with that - in... Read more

The greatest simple single volume systematic theology book available!
As it says in the title. This book is simple to read, Grudem has obviously realised that not everyone has a doctorate in theology and so has written this book for more people,... Read more

Fundamentalist claptrap
The title says it all! Avoid this book, it'll put a hole in your pocket and your brain.

Systematic Theology for the Christian today.
An excellent textbook of evangelical theology. Wayne Grudem explains the doctrines of the Christian faith in a way that is highly readable and comprehensible. Read more

Wonderful, but heavily evangelical
I'm not sure why people consider this book offer differing opinions on difficult issues. Grudem is very evangelical, and probebly favours Calvin above any other form of protestant... Read more
