Considered one of the classics on Systematic Theology, the book covers all the basics on the reality of God, the atonement of Christ and the final state of man and the last things. Anyone who wishes to study theology would be wise to read this book as many in the Reformed tradition hold that it is a landmark in its field. It is arguably the most important twentieth century compendium of Reformed Theology. 'The work seemed particularly important to me', writes the author, 'in view of the widespread doctrinal indifference of the present day, of the resulting superficiality and confusion in the minds of many professing Christians, of the insidious errors that are zealously propagated even from the pulpits, and of the alarming increase of all kinds of sects.
Louis Berkhof Boeken
Louis Berkhof was een gereformeerd theoloog wiens werk wordt gekenmerkt door een diepgaande betrokkenheid bij de gereformeerde traditie. Hij bouwde voort op de erfenis van Johannes Calvijn en ontwikkelde de inzichten van Nederlandse theologen zoals Abraham Kuyper en Herman Bavinck. Zijn systematische theologische geschriften richten zich op een zorgvuldige verkenning van christelijke doctrines, en bieden een alomvattend beeld van het geloof. Berkhofs benadering wordt gewaardeerd om zijn helderheid, consistentie en stevige verankering in het bijbelse en gereformeerde erfgoed.
