This book is recommended reading by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum in his methodical biblical study teaching.
This is an excellent book taking you through all the vital concepts of the Christian faith in an easy to read and easy to understand format.
For christian parents this is an excellent resource to cover with our kids. Also a great book to gift to those new to the christian faith or those who have been christians a while. I think any Pastor should have read this book as well.

I purchased this book for $10 from Goodwill Books, Charlotte, NC. It's in unused, new condition. Excellent book on Systematic Theology although I disagree with one or two of his conclusions but I don't think that anybody agrees 100% with anyone when it comes to Christian Doctrine. For example Ryrie doesn't believe the 9 Gifts of the Spirit are for today. He is a Cessationist. The other day I was discussing this book compared to Chafers 8 volumes of Systematic Theology with a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary where Chafers is required reading. The graduate smiled and thought that Ryrie's was just as good, written in a clearer style and much, much cheaper!!!

Liz R from PA:
What is extremely helpful about this book is the pervasive references to scripture so one can easily locate the biblical texts that support the argument. The book is divided into sections (sin, revelation, God, Jesus Christ, etc.) also making it extremely easy to get to the information one is looking for without having to read several hundred pages of a theological treatise. The author clearly has conservative/biblical literalist leanings, which some will appreciate and others will not, but usually presents both sides of the debate, so even if the reader has a more liberal viewpoint, s/he should still find the book informative and useful.

I have come across other authors who often interpret bible out of context. Charles Ryrie is very reliable in his interpretation. His Basic Theology book is easy to read, clear and simple yet covers all the basic I need.

Biblical basics - well structured! Those, who are interessed in better understanding biblical truth, here find very helpfull literature. It's absolutely right, what's said in the book description: "Systematic Guide". It's really one. And: Not personal convictions, but apprenticeship (teaching), which is based on the bible!

I finished reading Basic Theology in 1991 right after I returned from Iraq. After Bible College and Seminary we pastors sometimes accidentally reccomend resources that are out of the reach of many of our parishoners. This one is an exception! Have no fear of reccomending this text for anyone, especially new believers (and young people who are seeking to understand the Bible.) When I baptize a new believer I purchase them a Ryrie study Bible. It is not that I endorse all that Ryrie teaches, but the consistancy he brings in his study Bible is helpful. Besides, if this book is purchased as a companion to The Ryrie Study Bible, Ryrie's bias can be compensated for since it is known.
R. Bultmann (proving a broken clock is right twice daily) once said that "presuppositionless exegesis is impossible." To understand the presuppositions behind the Ryrie Study Bible examining Basic Theology has no second!
Dr. Robert Stein once said in Hermeneutics class that everyone should learn one system of Theology as a touch stone to compare all other systems one encounters. For a young Christian this is a perfect example of a touch stone to enter into dialogue...
