The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, of studying the important doctrines of the Holy Scriptures. Wayne Grudem’s bestselling Systematic Theology has several distinctive features:

• A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine.
• 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 within each chapter.

Bibliographies in each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies.
