Description :
A New Systematic Theology of the Christian
Faith expresses a fully biblical Reformed faith, showing its enduring appeal,
coherence, and truthfulness. Faithful to historic Calvinist convictions, this
new benchmark of Reformed Theology covers all the main teachings of the Bible
and engages contemporary theological issues with the resources of biblical
revelation and sound historical reflection so that the light of the Reformation
continues to illumine the life of Christ's church today. A contemporary,
foundational statement of classic reformed faith, now revised and updated.
"In this masterful, reader-friendly volume, veteran theologian
Robert Reymond updates the classic Reformed theology of Charles Hodge, B B
Warfield, and John Murray...Logically structured and thoroughly argued on all
points of dispute, Reymond's magnum opus will be prized by teachers, students,
and all who care for what was once called 'purer theology'." Ed Clowney comments
that Reymond "does not shrink from difficult questions, but reasons with his
readers. He sits down with us to clear our heads, humble our hearts, and bring
the glories of sovereign grace to our lips." - J.I. Packer, Regent
College, Vancouver, B.C.
"A teachers legacy to the Christian church,...this text harvests a
lifetime of lectures, honed to communicate God's revealed truth. Where a point
needs the witness of many texts, he gives not references but the passages. He
mines the creeds and church history to display those treasures. He does not
shrink from difficult questions, but reasons with his readers. He sits down with
us to clear our heads, humble our hearts and bring the glories of sovereign
grace to our lips." - Edmund P. Clowney, Westminster Theological
Seminary, Escondido CA.
"here is a theology which will cast a gracious shadow into the
next millennium. Students will turn again and again to this book, not only
because it bears the grandeur of the best Reformed thinking, but because the
writing is so relevant and warm." - R. Kent Hughes, Senior Pastor,
College Church, Wheaton, IL.
"Dr. Reymond's...intent is above all to be biblical, and that is
most refreshing at a time when Evangelical theologians have routinely
compromised many scriptural truths. His
New Systematic Theology is a
fine piece of work and will do much to edify the people of God. Scholars,
pastors, and others who want to be well informed about the Bible's teachings
will do well to purchase this volume."
"Dr. Reymond has produced a comprehensive orthodox text,...plainly
written in an engaging style. Dr. Reymond is a man with strong convictions, and
he deals with many positions that he does not endorse, but he is fair in his
representations and courteous in his criticisms. This work is up-to-date and
frequently interacts with recent theological literature."
Comprehensive, coherent, contextual, and conversational
Scripture-saturated, with more exegesis and more Scripture quotations than
other one-volume theologies

government, and much more

study through footnotes, and a selective bibliography
A textbook for theology students, a life-long reference for libraries,
ministers, teachers, and professional theologians
Monergism Review
: In recent studies of
every variety I have been consistently and considerably benefited by Robert
Reymond's
New Sytematic Theology of the Christian Faith.
I am confident
that any student of the scriptures, whether layman or clergy, will likewise be
greatly profited by this phenomenal resource; and so I have decided to write a
brief review for the purpose of commending this work to anyone interested, by
highlighting four characteristics which I have consistently found in Reymond's
writing, to an eminent degree. I pray that God will give this beautifully
Christ-centered work a widening circle of influence.
