Reformed Systematic Theology by Joel Beeke is one of the best modern systematics available (I’ve only read MacArthur, Letham, Grudem and Horton). The Puritan writings dispersed throughout the three volumes adds practical and devotional value. I’m late to reformed theology, but when I was learning about Lutheranism, I found Pieper’s Christian Dogmatics very helpful (aside from all of the Latin). Systematic theology is my favorite genre of reading and I regret being so late to discover it. 😢
I’ve been in church for more than 40 years. Most of that time I never heard of doctrine, systematic theology, etc. but now in my old age and going to a church that at least teaches doctrine. I never had catechism taught either so I’m starting with the WSC and going through my bible reading and marking each one. I’m shocked at what I read at times as I’ve heard different scripture used but didn’t know how it all fit together. Sooooo many church teach absolutely nothing each Sunday. They need meat to teach us what it means to follow Christ. I don’t communicate too well but hope this makes sense to someone that may be searching. Matthew, you helped so much with making me hungry to know true doctrine, thank you.
While it maybe doesn't technically count as systematic theology, Herman Bavinvk's "The Wonderful Works of God" is a beautifully written and relatively accessible volume! It's had a huge impact on me and lends itself to a cover to cover read. Thanks for the video sir! I appreciate your content.
On the Wayne Grudom sys-theo: I've heard several reformed baptists put down this one as not very good. Honestly I don't think there is a true reformed baptist sys-theo out there. As a reformed baptists myself, I've greatly benefited from Louis Berkhof and his work and found if very helpful.
I am just a layman and an Elder in our church who loves the word of God, and your videos, but I have read Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology straight through like a book. Read it a couple of years ago, a chapter a week, before the new revision came out. What a tremendous resource! I highly recommend doing this to any serious student of the word.
You didn't own Turretin? Were you even saved? 😉
I have found that when I read commentaries or systematic theology for my devotions in the morning, I get so much more insight from my reading. That may not be for everyone but I find it to be very beneficial. I read a few paragraphs or even a few pages at a time and have found the quality of my morning devotions improve. There is nothing wrong with devotionals and I have used them for years but I struggled to find a really good one last year so I started reading sections of commentaries and this year sections of systematic theology with the goal to finish it eventually.
Letham's Systematics. He has a section on Orthodoxy which most do not. The abridged 4 vol of Bavink are excellent. I've read and owned the titled above as well as all 4 vol of Bavinck, Chafer, Calvin's Institutes in two translations (2 vol, single vol), Usher, Gill repeatedly, Dagg, Erickson, Ryrie, Heppe...I have the massive volume by Culver but the print is too tiny. I'm currently working on Vos Dogmatics. I've read all of the printed works by Frame but do no own them. There are others but I can't recall all of them. Having worked in libraries for over 30 years I've had access to a lot of theological works. Gill and Calvin are stand outs. God bless.
Although I am not reformed, I am currently reading through Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology, and I think it is beneficial to read about theology from people you disagree with.
I'm reading through Robert Letham's Systematic Theology. I've read Frame's and Berkhof's as well as a couple of others, but I must say that Letham's is my favourite. While I appreciate much of what Frame has written (I have several of his books and have greatly appreciated them), my main criticism of Frame's and Grudem's systematic theology is their soft position on charismatic theology. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Letham's work.
I discovered your channel in the last couple of days and really respect and appreciate your content. This stuff is excellent, brother.
Wow, Huge compliment for Grudem. Much more than deserved.
Going through Joel Beeke's Reformed Systematic Theology four volume set over the next few years
Thank you Pastor Matt. I enjoy learning about theology from your TH-cam. Please keep it up. I watch all your videos.
Just finished reading Frame’s Systematic for my seminary course👍🏼
Excellent video, Matt!
Great video and points. I’ve read straight through John Frame’s, absolutely awesome.
Thank you for this. I didn’t know I needed to read a systematic theology until I watched this!
I’ve been enjoying Berkhof
