Discerning Buyer:
This huge work staggers by virtue of its meticulous, insightful, and exhaustive approach. Most might use it as an academic reference, perhaps. Conventional cover-to-cover reading is one major and serious undertaking, but it is both transformative and extraordinarily educational.
Not for the superficial reader, but it has my unreserved highest recommendation.

Kushal Sagar: A wonderful book to have for a biblical insight on various aspects of our Christian belief. Sound doctrine that doesn’t compromise on anything.

Karen:
I appreciate the book is written for lay people. It makes it very readable and understandable. I value the personal application questions at the end of each chapter, which drives each chapter deeper into our understanding as we apply the truths. Adding a song or hymn makes each chapter a unit unto itself.
I am reading each section as a book. It makes it less daunting to get through. Each section then has anywhere from 5-15 chapters in it. I know you can read any chapter throughout the book on its own, but There is value in reading the book through. In an age when doctrine is very wish washy and sometimes almost non existent it is necessary for believers to know and understand biblical truth! This book will help to firm up, clarify and settle what the Bible says on many many topics.

I cannot say enough great things about this book!
A few weeks ago I got into one of the conversation with a friend regarding the concept of “once saved always saved” vs ability to lose salvation. Growing up in a conservative church we were always under the belief of the latter. I asked a friend at work about his thoughts on it because I was looking for more scriptural back up one way or another rather than just “I believe, or I think”. He brought me this book having marked the chapter that discusses this topic. I was amazed at the information I found. I feel like the writer does a really good job of showing various sides of every topic and backing each up with lots of scripture. I find myself constantly looking up the various versus referenced as I read. Sometimes I agree they defend his points, sometimes I may not necessarily be completely in agreement, but appreciate the opportunity to study why his points were made.
Shortly after I had attended a new church that was in the process of electing new elders. There were many things that occured that didn't jive with the beliefs I was raised with. Although I knew the verses that backed...

I began reading this systematic theology cover to cover about a year ago, reading a few pages a day (which I highly recommend), along with my other devotional and Scriptural reading. I have to say that, as a conservative Christian, this was truly a faith changing and spiritually maturing book. I love theology, so I could go on and on, but here are some of the positives and negatives of this work:
Positives:
1. Understandable/Clear--the book is contemporary, direct, and for the most part understandable; I would suggest the earliest age to read it would be a mature high-schooler, but definitely college age students.
2. Biblically based--doctrines are developed from relevant Scriptures, and these verses are either cited, quoted in the text, or quoted at length.
3. Great Discussions--the doctrines are presented in a straightforward way, but the author does address relevant questions and usually has good discussion on the topic at hand to aid in the students personal theological formulation, whether or not the reader agrees with a particular doctrine.
4. Accessible/well organized--for the most part the book follows a clear outline format with...
