Description
Takes Louis Berkhof's Systematic Theology and summarizes it, with helpful subdivisions for study. Just as Berkhof's Systematic Theology is outstanding in its own field, this A Summary of Christian Doctrine is superb as a popular handbook of Christian doctrine, written from a Reformed standpoint. Systematically arranged and helpfully sub-divided, it has proven ideal for study-groups. Passages for memorization and questions for review at the close of each chapter enhance the book's value for the student.
Similar to the author's Manual of Christian Doctrine, this volume offers a simpler and briefer presentation of Christian doctrine geared especially to high school students. Technical terms and detailed explanations have been avoided, and important Scripture passages are printed in full. Review questions are included.
Author Louis Berkhof was born in and emigrated with his family to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1882. He graduated from Calvin Theological Seminary in 1900 and accepted the call to be the pastor of the Allendale, Michigan First Christian Reformed Church. In 1902 he went to Princeton University for two years earning a B.D. degree. He then accepted the role as pastor of the Oakdale Park Church in Grand Rapids. In 1906 he was appointed to the faculty of Calvin Theological Seminary. He assumed the presidency of the seminary in 1931 and served until retirement in 1944. A talented teacher and hard-working author, among his twenty-two books is Systematic Theology, which has been translated into several languages and used in many conservative colleges and seminaries.
